Hello,

Yup, it's me. Alive and well to.

My major health issues are behind me, we think way behind.

I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth. As of yesterday the last of my serious health issues are behind me. With that in mind I think I'll be able to post from time to time.

For the record there are no major issues before me. The most difficult thing I must deal with is my vision and how it affects my ability to read. That has slowed me dramatically. I'll be following up with that problem shortly.

In the meantime I will endeavor to publish as often as possible. I'm not in a position to predict how often you'll find a new issues piece.

The "issues of the day" are compelling and I'll try to be as up to date as possible with them. The presidential race is getting very interesting and is chockablock full of happenings which cry our for commentary.

I spoke with my honey Helen about the fact we still have a large number of you logging on regularly is heartening. If I have as few as one of you here I'll gleefully post often. To put it mildly I am humbled by the number of you still visiting here regularly.

My intention is to continue with blogger as our meeting place because of its simplicity to post as well as read. Any thoughts you may have concerning that will be helpful in finalizing my thinking on the matter. Please writer me at mvl270@yahoo.com .

There, the ice is broken and I feel much better now.

God willing I'll have something for you tomorrow. We plan to watch the debate tonight and it will likely provide material for our post.

Thank you so much for sticking with me during my prolonged absence and a prayer of thanks for the Lord allowing me to return to sufficient health for us to get together again.

Ciao.......Moe
