Thank you all for the well-wishes, prayers, thoughts! It is appreciated.

Spent a few days up north with 2 brother pastors and their families 8/5-8. We have been getting together every summer for a "pastor's weekend" since 2003. Many of the children are off on their own and no longer join us. But sometimes they do come with the new spouse.

Anyway, after everybody left I mowed, came back home, conducted worship that evening, and then my wife and Tim (youngest son) made me a wonderful supper! Then son and I sat outside with a couple fingers of Eagle Rare and we each had a 2003 Montecristo #5 (a gift from my uncle).

Nice finish to a great day.
