IN DEFENSE OF COMMON SENSE

“Coming soon”
In deference to many who opt out of their favorite activities in the midst of a medical situation, I choose to write the next two months’ columns ahead of time. A badly deteriorating shoulder initiates a rather ugly process that will require wearing a cast on my right arm (naturally, I’m right handed!) for a number of weeks. Therefore, I will stray a bit from current events and write on topics that transcend ongoing topics. I hope these editions will appeal to all ages among my readership.
If a very serious situation develops that requires immediate comment, then I will take the time to type one-handed and get a column out in a timely fashion.
Nothing is ever convenient when it comes to physical maladies, but I am lucky in that the doctor can repair the damage to my shoulder. With patience and diligent therapy, I can be back at the old Mac and in front of my sewing machine enjoying both hobbies to the hilt.
Thanks for all the replies to my columns. I receive them in high numbers, so I have not made it a habit to reply to each individually. That said, I do appreciate the support and enthusiasm.
I often quip that I am “out of warranty,” and that certainly holds true for someone approaching the seventh decade of life. In essence, every year is a gift and one that I am not about to waste.
Have a nice week. You’ll be hearing from me. Hmmmm….. I wonder if some of you hear that as a threat or a promise. Think about it.
