RIP Bill Bailey
Just three short years since he came to live with us, Bill Bailey has made his transition. On Thursday, October 30, Billy succumbed to the cancer that has ravaged his body for the past year and a half.
Rest in peace faithful friend! You gave us enough joy and love to fill a lifetime.

Excursion
Today was a big day for me, I took a ride to BJ's with Chris. I walked to the store from the car, but I rode around the store in one of their electric shopping carts. I am tired from this excursion, but I feel better for having gotten out there a little bit.
It has been 5 1/2 weeks since my left total knee replacement and although I am healing nicely, I have no desire yet to drive. I expect to give driving a try sometime next week!
This is an X-ray of my right knee after surgery.

Birthday Musings
July 4th and I am now 68 years old -- yesterday I was 67. Seems weird that the passing of one day could make me a year older, but that's the way it is.
I am doing well in retirement. I recently (April 23) had a total replacement of my right knee and expect to have my left one done before too long. At a recent doctor's appointment, the scale showed that I dropped another 5 pounds. Weight loss is going slowly, but it is going in the right direction. Other than the joints mentioned, I am in relatively good health, Thank You God! I am enjoying getting out and taking pictures more and more. I have received some positive notes on my Flickr account, I have had a picture published three times in a local paper - my next goal is to win a ribbon in a print contest.
I haven't been able to ride my bike since my knee operation, but I expect to be able to get back to that too, before too long.
My Cousin Anthony Masi died. Anthony was two years younger than I am. Rest in peace Anthony.
On a brighter note, my son Anthony married Kristen (Nee Malek) on June 14 with me officiating. Yeah, I know, but the kids asked me if I could perform the ceremony and, well how could I say no? They had planned a beach wedding, but as we were on the bridge crossing over to Anna Maria Island, the sky opened up and set a deluge upon us. In short order my cell phone rang, the ceremony had been moved to the restaurant. From then on out, everything proceeded without a hitch (except for the obvious). God bless you, Anthony and Kristen!
