Wow! 2009 is off like a shot! It really seems like a whole new era. In spite of the economy, it feels like the country was just let out of Guantanamo.I've been juggling 5 engagements with four companies since New Years Eve. Fortunately, two trips in the next two weeks have been postponed. I have a much needed breather.
On top of the work, we are ready to begin a remodeling project on half the house. So, we have to pack and move the downstairs rooms to a storage area. We will be living on a construction site for 5-6 months.
My health seems good, but I will get verification of that over the next two weeks because it's CT Scan and endoscopy time. These tests, I have to say, are really frightening. I've tried to capture the feeling in a rhyme...called "Test Time".

Test Time
The thing you really want to hear
Is "no problem, we're done, you're all clear"
And until those golden words are uttered,
Your mind, with doomsday scenarios cluttered,
Dances with thoughts that time is short
And flirts with disasters of every sort.
Build walls around that dancing mind
And get on with the things that help you find
Comforts, thrills and distractions so deep
They keep you safe in restless sleep
So dawn will light the path to play
With moments that take your breath away.
