Keeping the Streak Alive

April has been a good month.  Now, that isn't exactly earthshaking news or opinion.  But, the main reason for this particular post is to keep my consecutive streak of publishing every month ongoing.  I started this blog in May 2005 and in the past 19 years have written about many things ranging from piss poor journalism, to sports, to politics and whatever else moved me.

So, here is the 228th consecutive monthly post.  Yes, April was a good month for the most part, but I was tied up with a lot of doctor appointments and diagnostics.  I am battling chronic kidney disease and heart disease.  My kidneys are all but shot and they have impacted my heart and put me into atrial fibrillation.  Who, knew when I started this blog I would be writing about old man health care issues?  I will write more about my chronic kidney disease in the coming days.  But, I will tell you I am on the kidney transplant list at a local teaching hospital.  And the cardiology issues are being followed by a very good doctor.

My health kept me busy, but I also started working the scoreboard again at the high school from which I graduated almost 53 years ago.  I enjoy the job, the school district, AD, and staff treat me better than I deserve and it gives me something to do with my spare time.  And, they pay me for it.  It's a win-win!

I should have more free time next month, giving me more time to write.  Thanks for reading and keep your eyes posted for updates.
