Or both?

My driver called yesterday morning to advise his wife had just died. We were scheduled to make our weekly shopping run and he offered to find someone to send in his place. I told him not to worry about me and wished him the best during this difficult time. Danny’s wife had been ill for quite some time, getting dialysis three times a week and growing weaker and weaker. She was suffering and had no quality of life so perhaps her passing is a blessing. I know Danny is devastated. His daughter lives in Florida and she was coming to see her mother on the 28th. Now she will be here for the funeral. That’s a shame. I recall when my mom was on her deathbed she thanked me for coming home to her. I’d just made it from Korea a few days earlier.

My life goes on though, such as it is. Hiking, darting, and drinking. My health seems to be withstanding that onslaught so far. And I guess my big news is that I have once again broken the 200-pound threshold! I still want to get under 195 before I start getting lazy diet-wise. Really all I’m doing is cutting back on carbs (mostly bread and sweets) and skipping the noontime meal.

I have a singles league match this afternoon. The league seems to be going well thus far and I’m really seeing improvement in the darting skills of a lot of our players. That’s really the purpose of the league so we are off to a good start.

Gotta run, those darts ain’t gonna throw themselves.
