Life is good.

Gil's biopsy of the tumor remnant shows it to be his old hombre a fibromatosis, aka dezmoid tumor.  

The good news is that it probably is slow growing, though that will need to be confirmed, and as non life threatening as a ball of gristle growing amid the nerves to your right arm/hand can be.  

And there really is no bad news!  It's spring and we live in beauty and bounty,  and we know it; a gift in it's own right!  Gil's sleeping better and productive with all his large and noisy "toys". (he was just given a new one, a chipper leaf vacuum)  Our progeny are well and progressing with their next phases of life.  What more could we ask for?

Energy.  I have so little these days I feel like a limp dishrag.  Lots of naps seem to be helping.

And Adventure!  Gil and his brother Bob are going to take a two week meander West ("go West, young men!").  Ostensibly it's to visit Chris and Miya, but actually it's to be open to what ever adventures the blue highways they're going to take west may offer!  They both are in 7th heaven planning it.  And I'm "kinda" looking forward to two weeks    alone.

Also BIG news!!  We are getting a solar photo voltaic tracker system installed next month.  This is the culmination of a 35 year old dream of mine and profoundly satisfying.  

So.  Life is good.
