Happy Birthday Amie!!!!!
Happy Birthday Phil.  
Happy 250 USA, although, maybe not so happy. 


A day of beautiful summer shots of Western Massachusetts.  I live in a gorgeous part of this country.  


Not sure how hot it actually got today. It may have hit 90, but it did not break the temps that the last few days have.  there was also wind all day and it didn't cool it down, it kept it maybe tolerable. 


I went up and saw EJ for a bit, went for one of our old rides.  Warwick is a beautiful town, so very different than Greenfield.  I ate some dinner with them, but I realized I have been very paralyzed for the past few months.  My physical problems have caused emotional paralysis and I need to find a way out of that. 
I left Northfield and the skies began to fill up with humidity and clouds and pockets of color, but it wasn't until 8ish that the orange red dominated.  By that time I had driven into the Shelburne hills.  There was a glow over everything.  

I didn't see a lot of animals, but almost back down the hill there was a group of 5 deer, one being barely capable of standing and covered in spots.  So beautiful. 
So home I am, glad I have something planned tomorrow that will focuse me some.    I also want to watch a film of the boats in the NYC harbor.  It still excites me, a funny left over childhood thrill.   My dad loved boats and I loved going on them with him.  Lots of old old memories of the harbor.

August 21, 2026  In 1988 I went through a crazy medical emergency.  It took almost a year for it to come to a place where it was diagnosed and could be treated, which it was, initially under emergency conditions.  This seems to be the way my body operates.  When I went through that experience I suffered from extreme fear of doctors and the medical world and had to put my faith in my Mother and my then therapist's judgement and literally do what they said at the ripe old age of 35.   I worked hard to get beyond that fear and anxiety and through childhood medical trauma.  I was successful because of the work I was doing with my therapist and because the medical world worked hard and getting me to trust them.   Now we speed ahead almost 40 years and I find the old trauma and old anxiety banging around loudly.  That is because the medical system itself has stopped being client centered.  I am due to have surgery and Tuesday and the exac...
