cool

The weather hasn't been warm enough to bother with this, so let's see what summer brings! Your guess is as good as mine. We might use the extra body to keep warm, even during the day! - V

update II

I heard from Brad on the weekend. There's no love lost between us and care about each other as we always have, just wish he was here but he'd like me there. For health reasons I can't follow through for the moment since I'm recovering from a mini-stroke.. another one may be involved. Some at work miss my presence..my smile and wit, etc. I just got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon after being there since Monday. More news later! - V

Heri

One of my readers, perhaps more, did an inquiry about Heri. I've featured this Puerto Rican hottie before but here's another image as a reminder. What are your thoughts?

Meantime, on a more serious note, I may be using my vacation time this year to meet up with a dear friend in Nova Scotia who could use my moral support. It seems he's got himself into some troubles. So sad for someone so young (mid-20s) but what are real friends for but to offer support, courage and compassion in a time of need? Why run and hide when the need is other-wise??? - V

update

I heard from an old, dear friend yesterday (actually I consider him more family) which has helped perk me up and aid my recovery. I'm going to a clinic in Vancouver tomorrow after work. My bronchitis needs some assistance to get rid of it! Otherwise, I'm regaining strength but the vertigo is still with me. The antibiotics should help considerably. Then I'm off to the naturopath later in the month for more work. I hope all is better with you! Take care, guys!!! - V

vertigo and the flu

Hey, guys, sorry I haven't posted much lately. I'm in the midst of recovering from the flu. This time it includes vertigo as well as bronchitis (which I've had at least twice before). The vertigo is a real issue since my balance is affected and simple tasks like walking and typing this post is a chore. There is a serious flu bug going around the work place. Two have had vertigo included, so I'm not alone. Its not been a good four weeks. First the gout attack, then kidney issues and now this. Being exposed to allergens like tobacco residue causes severe issues for me. I'm also allergic to three kinds of mold spores, two kinds of tree pollens (birch and alder) and house dust not to mention a few others. I knew about the house dust and a few others, just the tobacco, molds and trees were a surprise. I came to the wrong part of the country! Perhaps someplace warmer and dryer is in order?!?! I'll post more as soon as I am able. Meantime, take care, guys! - V

the eyes have it! II

Here's another image to liven up your senses and which is in keeping with the last post. Someone looking into my eyes is an interesting sensation but an unblemished child doing the same, I get unnerved. Its happened at least twice in my lifetime and probably won't be the last. What are your thoughts on this? - V

the eyes have it!

Have you ever taken the time to look deep into someone's eyes, say your lover of same or opposite sex, a close friend or what ever? You can tell a lot about a person in this way. The eyes are to route to the soul! Try it some time. And on that note, have a good night, guys!!! - V
