All Is Well So, you may have noticed that I have given myself a medical leave of absence for a while. That is because I have had what was eventually diagnosed as a bone infection in my back (osteomyelitis). I give it a 1-star review, Do Not Recommend. Still yet, as a beautiful but lesser- known Christmas carol goes, âAll Is Wellâ. I am starting antibiotic treatment, both oral and IV this week, after having this since August. So Iâm thankful for finally some good medical care. I have had extraordinarily good care in Marshall (shout out to Boston Mountain, Dr. Blair, and Robin), itâs when you get to the specialists in the city that things can bog down, and bog down they did.

Good morning to you! I usually write of the night, but I forgot to write last night so Iâm up this morning and thought I would try to write a little bit. Hope all of you are doing well and had a good Christmas with your family. We had a wonderful time with ours. We had ours a little early, on the 21st so most could be here. We missed Jimmy and Aneilya, and Aaronâs girlfriend Avery, but we got everyone else worked in. Aaron had to leave on Sunday the 23rd to get on his way to the Liberty Bowl at Memphis. He is there having a big time! He has a practice every day, an outing with the team, and then some free time. They are staying in the Peabody and having the time of their lives, Iâm sure! I am anxious to see the game on Friday!
2024 is a leap year which means 2024 and 2028 will both be leap years. But still there are some exception to ones every four year rules. Thatâs because it takes Earth approximately 365.242189 days or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds, to circle once around the sun according to Time and Date. So this February, 2024, had 29 days.
