This blog goes live today

So I'm not really even sure who will read this, or who will care, but for me it is healing. Knowing that you folks are "out there" and I am "in here" helps heal my wounds. Today is Sunday, November 30th, and I am in Austin for the entire week. (P.S. - Happy Birthday Ryan! - my oldest son, Ryan, is 27 today!)

I am staying at the Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin. It is one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in Texas, perhaps in the USA. We are here for Gardco Lighting's International Sales meeting, for which my company has been preparing for nearly a year! There is an army of people working to get the show set up, and all I am is in the way! I can't lift anything heavy, and my back is hurting more and more each day. I am ready for the surgery, to get to the other side!

So I hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I will enjoy posting to it. After my surgery, and while I am incapacitated, my daughter, Alyssa, will be my editor, and will post my thoughts for me.

Thanks for stopping by - please leave your comments, and/or email me directly at lkirby58@gmail.com

I will read, and I do care.

Gee, cuz, I had no idea. You really are a trooper. Please continue the story, inquiring minds want to know!

Here's a thought for you: get yourself a Twitter account, and connect it to your blog, and make micro-blog posts from your phone, from anywhere!

Then follow me on Twitter, and I'll follow you too.

Take care, we'll be thinking of you.
