That is what I am going to do right now. Having had a great lunch of a chicken sandwich with some spinach and peaches and a little yogurt (Have to watch those electrolytes, you know), it is not time to retire to the kitchen, grab my friend Jim and drag him to the kitchen table so we can both eat a yummy “Drumstick ice cream cone, with vanilla ice cream dipped in melted chocolate and covered with crushed peanuts — nothing like it in the whole world and I have been eating them since I was just a kid…..almost back before civilization began.
Following that, if I am still here bodily, I will return to this keyboard to tantalize, amaze and entertain you all with more of my phantasmagoric intellectualism that sometimes rivals the flow of the fabled “Akashic” River….so be prepared to receive the indisputable wisdom, charm and what have you coming your way and it is all free of charge, my friend, it is all free of charge because I am probably one of the most generous human beings that has ever drawn the breath of life…..and one of the most humble also, I must add. Besides which, I have to take a break and wash my fungal infested toenails and apply the magic lacquer that is supposed to defeat this torment from hell in a couple of months from now.
It is now 4:51 pm and I am getting ready to go into the living room and watch Judge Judy with Jimmy— we watch her as often as we can ….My back was itching me his morning but after showering the itch stopped …that is something new for me …but I am not sweating it at this point…it seems like i have turned 88 years of age, I am experiencing a lot more interesting and new sensations that I ever did before…some strange…some expected ….most tolerable.
My arms are starting to look like a cartographic map of some kind because of all the bruises that I got when they were sticking me with intravenous needles and stuff at the hospital and, of course, since i am taking a blood thinner every time I brush too hard against an object, there is a bruise …but it only lasts for a few days and the the arm or hand or whatever returns more or less to normal….but I have to admit, I am not the freshly-minted-looking man that I once was ….but I do not seem to have facial wrinkles of any significance yet– is this too much information?
This afib thing has been a horror recently — I spent some time in intensive care (About two days) and then when I got released to go home, it wasn’t but a short while before I had to return to the emergency room twice on two different occasions so they could stabilize me and slow the heart down a bit …It was somewhat frightening, but right now all my activities, including my street ministry have been put on hold until I can get myself a little more stable. I even bought myself a personal portable heart monitor so I can watch the rate and be warned if another out of control afib attack happens. At this time, it is all going good but I sometimes feel like a ticking time bomb and while it is not a comfortable feeling, I do have The Peace of God that passes all understanding because of my Savior, Jesus Christ for which I am more grateful than I can ever explain.
I am hearing horror stories on the television set about conditions on the United States military ship named, “Abraham Lincoln”and that is giving me some pause…I will have to learn more about this before I can really leave a meaningful comment…I cannot imagine what might have happened aboard ship to garner media attention, so I will have to wait awhile and dig a little deeper. But I have to admit that I am somewhat disturbed by any possibility that conditions for our service men and women would be less than ideal because they have always had the best as I recall….I served for 7 years and 3 months active duty and I never had any complaints about food or conditions at all because back then the military took good care of us– I know nothing right
LINES BY LIMING 
THe Lincoln thing is the food was crap and I read that they were concerned about the suicide thing so it has returned to port….I dearly hope that your health issues get worked out….when I was a kid I loved the ‘drumstick’ thingys…..then I graduated to ice cream sandwich and then later to dark choc Dove bars. I hope you have a good day. chuq

Good to hear that you are enjoying your ice cream. At 88, you can afford to have treats sometimes. There is a lot of information online about the poor conditions on that aircraft carrier. One sailor even jumped overboard and was rescued by a helicopter.
Best wishes, Pete.
