Friends, my vision will not be returning. The Iris Bombe has progressed to a “critical stage,” and my eye will need to be removed. I am scheduled for enucleation surgery on Thursday, April 30th. In the meantime, I am receiving extra doses of eyedrops to manage the building pressure in my eye. As of now, […]
Friends, I’ve had another detour on my health journey. The nasal fungal infection is resisting treatment. The return of the symptoms last month wasn’t a respiratory infection as we originally hoped. Although the antibiotics did help with the sneezing, after being off the medication for over a week the ooze has slowly returned to the […]
It isn’t uncommon for rock stars to be asked to share their expertise, whether it be on a competition show, a documentary, or even on current events. It is a sign of respect for their status in the music industry. Well, my friends, I have finally been recognized for my role in music! I have […]

However, while […]
Love is in the air! In fact quite literally in my neighborhood! The birds seem to be focused on one thing lately, and ignoring the world around them, to the possible detriment of us and their egos! Case in point while taking a neighborhood walk, a robin came flying past, safely overhead, at what seemed […]
Hi Angel Chuck Billy! What an exciting 10 days it has been with the Artemis II Moon Mission! I’m certain you were supervising closely the astronaut’s safe return to Earth. In fact, I even saw that brief moment after splashdown when the cameras showed a rainbow next to the Integrity capsule. I knew that had […]
As the Astronauts on the historic Artemis II mission prepare to reenter Earth’s atmosphere tomorrow, I’d like to take a moment today to pay tribute to the dogs, monkeys and even a cat who bravely led the way for human space exploration.
