i'm back... i know it has been a while since i have posted. frankly, i have been so busy i have neglected my website. i am going to make an effort to post more often. first i want to say that i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and that the new year brings you much joy. megan and i spent the holiday with our families and enjoyed the time together. i have transitioned into a new position with the state of ky. i am now working as a network engineer at the commonwealth office of technology in frankfort. i am excited about the new position and i think it is a great move for my career. megan has one more semester left of graduate school. she worked very hard and earned a 4.0 last semester. we will be traveling to europe in late february/early march. the purpose of the trip is academic, however we hope to gain some pleasure from it. we have both traveled abroad before when we were in high school. i am looking forward to experiencing some new countries this time.

my health has been maintaining itself. i travel back to nashville on january 10 for a check-up with my orthopedic oncologist. i must assume all is well. while i occasionally have some lower back flare-ups, etc, my pain is usually at a manageable level. my stomach has refrained from digesting itself. with the proper meds i am maintaining decent gastrointestinal health and have put back on all of the weight i lost plus a little more. as for new years resolutions, megan and i are committing to the most popular - better diet and exercise.

that is about i have for now. talk to you all soon....
