Ah yes .. the eternal question .. "When does life get easy?" .. at age seventy five (75) and counting .. "It ain't happening!" ..
Now let's take one of my closest allies in this life-time .. Jim ..
Jim (aka to you who are following along here as Godzilla or 'Zilla) down in Apple Valley California just sort of 'idly-tripped-over' his suitcase when leaving his hotel room to catch a plane to fly back West to his home a 'month-or-so-ago' .. no big deal you would think ! .. this could happen to each and to all of us .. in going to the door of your hotel room you trip or slip-off-balance because of your own suitcase .. in Jim's case down-he-went .. and he 'hurt' his right shoulder when he landed on the carpeted floor with a THUD ..
You think .. "Well no-big-deal .. I will tough-this-out and all will be well in a day-or-so !" .. not so .. NOT the case at all ..
No Big Deal !? .. Tough-It-Out !? .. Jim had shouler surgery on his right shoulder a week ago .. and has been in agonizing pain since .. he can't get comfortable nor sleep in bed so he has to sit-upright in his front room to sleep in an easy chair .. Jim can grab sleep in two hour bits and pieces .. and his recovery could take months or possibly up-to-a-year for the healing of his repaired 'rotator cuff' and newly re-installed tendon(s) ..
Satchel Paige said it all .. "Don't look back ! .. Something might be gaining on you !" ..
So as Jim well knows .. life is NOT getting easy down his way !
I still plan to fly NORTH-to-ALASKA (this is an 'inside joke') and my home in Manley Hot Springs on Tuesday June the 5th .. Patti will join me on June the 13th staying until after the Fourth of July Holiday ..
Hauling water .. tens of quadrillions of mosquitoes .. an 'out-house' .. no dark nights for sleeping .. not precisely an easy-lifestyle should one care to closely examine it ..
AH but .. almost literally .. the silence can be almost deafening .. unless the neighboring Roadhouse is up-and-running full tilt all night .. it truly IS AN EXPERIENCE in rural Alaska .. and I love it ..
Get well soon Godzilla ! .. we are all praying for you buddy .. Smiles .. Cap ..
