Surgeries were mostly successful, but physical abilities have decreased by orders of magnitude. Shoulder problems and arthritis in my hands (mostly base thumb joints), are mostly the things that bother me from a hobby perspective. All this stuff has given me a much more positive outlook, weird as that may be. I'm just glad to be alive! Plus I get to read more...
I think we all need good luck the way things are going. Nevertheless, I feel pretty fortunate, and am sure looking forward to getting my new kilt. Once I get that, I think I'm getting one for the little woman in a Foster/Forrester tartan. Rocky says he can do it.
Enjoy your day!

Frank: Great picture! Did you see your old Sunspot at the Meet n' Greet? Hope you had a good time.
I'm happy for you about your surgeries. It's always good to keep a positive attitude, if possible. My wife has arthritis (osteo, not rheumatoid, thankfully) in her hands, so I know it can be debilitating. Also, I know first hand about decreasing physical abilities. I still ride my mountain bike, and I tell everyone that sometimes when it rains my Depends swell up and I have trouble reaching the pedals. 
Can't wait to see your kilt. Cheers!

PS: My mother was a graduate of SUNY at Buffalo, but when she was there (pre WW-II), it was called the New York State Teachers College for Women. 
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
