A week or so ago, I had to shelve going to a Halloween party hosted by two of my favorite people

[WCGreen]

because of, you guessed it, my diminished health situation.

By Christopher Green

I really wanted to go because Joe, although we don’t see each other so much these days, is truly my best friend. He is the guy that if I was in trouble, I would call first. Not only that, his significant other, Diane, has always been in my corner when I needed her. These two have been friends of mine since back in the 80’s. Joe knew me when I was drinking; Diane met me after I stopped.

Now Joe has an artistic flair and Diane is a task master to the nth degree so I knew the combination of the two would produce a well decorated and nicely organized party. No keg in the corner augmented by excruciatingly loud music complete with a cavalier “you’re on your own” kind of party at their home.

A great big thank you to all the people here who have supported my endeavor over the last two years...

It was about two years ago that I started to post from my hospital room which was what inspired me to start the blog a few months later.

That stay in the hospital was scary and knowing that DU was out there for me helped me get through a difficult time in my life.
