Today I had to cancel my premium membership, with apologies to Mr NN. Not because I disliked it or felt it wasn't worth the money, but because I can simply no longer afford it in the current economy. Maybe someday,..

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or Happy whatever it is you observe this time of year. Hope it’s a good one!

Been a minute since I last blogged.

I've been relatively quiet for the last several months. not engaging in too much. I have posted a few pics, but who is really interested in an old little chubby guy? Anyway, last summer I had an intimate discussion with my mortality about the importance of listening to my doctor. I had a minor stroke that landed me in the hospital for the better part of a week. I'm still recovering. Fortunately, it only affected my left side, which is at about 80% of normal. Hasn't improved much, if at all, but never incapacitated me. I have a little trouble organizing my words into sentences at times as well. Also found out I am diabetic, have high cholesterol, an enlarged prostate, and nodules on my lungs. Not bad for my first hospital stay. Still getting up every morning (with a little more difficulty) and making it here maybe a bit too often. Just trying to keep my interest up in all things sexy. Been tough to do so. Going to work every day is becoming more difficult. I really can't afford to retire. Ah well. I just wanted to get this off my chest a bit. Feels good to talk about it from time to time. That's about it for now. Everyone stay nasty and hey, drop me a note sometime, eh?

I finally was able to pull the trigger and get a year of premium. Been trying to do that for quite some time, but lack of $$ got in the way. I feel much better helping to support this site and enjoying the benefits associated with paid access. Apologies to Mr. NN. I had hoped to do this shortly after he kindly gave me a short-term premium subscription.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Happy <insert your celebration here>. I hope everyone has a safe and good one.

Here come the Mummies- Pants. Can't quite figure out what they mean...
