Ah, Summer at last

It is here, for now anyway. Summer has been lurking around the corner for some time now. Currently, the temperature is just right for me, low to mid-twenties, however, it is due to rise to the high twenties in the next few days. I may get a bit uncomfortable.

The other day, my wife and I did manage to get in a bike ride. Quite a long one, for us oldies, late fifties to early sixties and not too experienced. We rode to a beach, Cates Park and then to Deep Cove. After a very cold slushy type drink, we came back on the busy street, Mount Seymour Parkway. Actually, a highway. I lost control and crashed, landing on the pavement with my bike on top of me. After my wife helped me up, I went and sat at a bus stop. A young couple saw my spill and circled around. They offered me a ride, taking my bike in the back or their truck. Many thanks again to these kind folks.

I had some obvious wounds and plenty of pain. My worry in the hours to follow was for my ribs that began to cause me pain as they did a few years ago when I broke two of them. I have been laying low resting and now, after seeing the doctor and getting a pain pill prescription and an X-ray order, I now feel much better and really have most pain coming from the bruises that have emerged. What a relief! Broken ribs take two to three weeks to feel any relief and over six weeks to heal.

Well, I have been plenty busy over the months of mostly silence here. I’ve been to Kelowna to visit my daughter, among other activities. I won’t bother you with it all, but shall attempt to find some interesting entries to write. One has been on my mind for months, perhaps interfering with my other ideas. One day soon, it will come together.

Preamble

I have many interesting activities in my life—so many that I have neglected my blogs. Since myBobLog is my original and first blog, it is here that I endeavor to begin my blogging journey once again. I start now with a new theme.

In the hopefully near future, I want to write about a project of growing my hair to donate to cancer patients. I have a fundraising page that I will link to. I also need to write about my return to playing music with my cornet and how had a dream come true by acquiring a particular cornet. I also need to write about the two jazz bands I run. In fact, I have begun websites for them too, so there lies more blogging activities.

My next move will likely be to take a peek at my Technojungle Project. I suppose I have been blaming my blogging neglect on the writing of my upcoming book, however, music has also been a strong draw away. I have even postponed work on my photography.

Don't worry about the details of all these projects and activities. I will make sure the mud settles as soon as I get a better handle on how I want to set up things here on this blog to start with.

It will take some time, so stay tuned and be patient.
