So last week for lack of anything better to do, I had my left rotator cuff repaired. Turned out to be much less damage than expected so the Doc filed off some bone spurs, cleaned up some arthritis damage and put an single suture in the cuff at 12 o'clock.
Nothing to write home about, but then the three holes in my shoulder look sort of like three bullet holes. Feel sort of like what I think three bullet holes would also.

Lots of things going on. I have my first grandchild, Elly, who is 4 months old and lives in California.
My music is going well. I am working on the mandolin for the next few months. After two years of faking bass playing in the band, I almost know how it should be played. Now if I can only put knowledge to practice.
Retirement is not likely for a few years. I don't think I will have to work to 100 but retirement next week is not in the works.

Retirement update: Well the June markets certainly rearranged my thinking about retiring.

I have taken up jogging again after several years layoff. So far it has been zero fun but I seem to remember that it was never that much fun.
Of course, it may resolve the retirement question.

Without the example of my mentor Terry Oglesby, I have not done a very good job of posting.
The failure continues as I still have nothing of worth to post.

The old retirement plan is not doing all that well these days. It seems that the whole idea of investing and having one's money grow is out of date or at least in the areas I have tried. My "win the lottery" plan hasn't worked out either and I am not really attracted to the "starving musician" business.
I guess there is always Social Security. Right?
