One of my sarcastic nephews calls me Braddah Iz'nt.

Here we go again.
For the most horrible of reasons, I'm staying here in Florida.

All of you know that I'm a tad overweight. Just a smidgen. A teeny little hundred and sixty pounds too heavy for my frame.

I never have minded the obvious drawbacks of such a state - but my stupid heart and circulatory system don't agree. Imagine that.

I was put on BP meds last week for the first time in my life and a new diet that MUST be followed am I to live any kind of the mobile, happy life I've been used to up to this point.

And no drinking.

Me. No drinking... until I get all of this under control. How long that will be is mostly up to me.

No airplanes either until July.

It's been 11 days now since my last sip of sweeeeeeetttttt nectarrrrrrrrr. I've lost enough weight to get into some cool Aloha shirts I had - ahem - outgrown.

Find me a long board, Bong. When I get there - if I ever do - I'll be a svelte action figure of my former self and ready to learn.

On a brighter note. I'm incredibly glad to be alive because a month ago I wasn't so sure I would be at this point.

Here's a little ditty I've been working on with The Crazed Mugs to lighten the mood and remind you of one of the reasons you're all so important to this beeg mon.

This one is dedicated to the collectors - it's just a practice version so don't judge the performance or recording too harshly.
