Whufff! That was a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng Hiatus!

Actually, I had this medical problem, ya' see, which is why I haven't brought my blog up to date.
I mean, the PAIN was intense!! You can't imagine!! (NO, you CAN'T EITHER!)

One minute, there I was sitting innocently in my chair having just pulled my pants on to make preparations for finishing my morning dressing chore.
The next I was dancing around the room like a madman!!
DAMN, that HURT!

Have you ever known REAL pain? I mean the kind that starts in your stomach and simply EXPLODES into your brain?
Well, that's what this was like!
And I've always thought of myself as a somewhat stoic person, who didn't let pain really bother me too much-, --but THIS! THIS was just too much!

My wife came running into the bedroom looking frantically all over my body trying to find what I was yelling about.
When she discovered the source of my pain, she began hysterically---laughing!
"Hold still, you old fool, and I'll remove your pain", she said, still laughing.
I mean, it hurt like h-e-double- ell, when she yanked the damned zipper down.
At my age, there just isn't much left there, so in a fight with a zipper, you can bet it's going to lose.

It took me a long time before I got over that pain---and that's why I haven't been posting here.
That's my story, and I'm sticking too it!
