I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It looks like I will be around to enjoy Christmas after all. Hopefully my health, heart and body is all back in sink with each other...I think they finally decided to play well with each other, lets hope anyway. No, really I'm feeling quite well considering everything in the past few weeks and I do believe I am on the track to being a whole new man again.  Anyway, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas because I probably will not be home for the holidays if things go according to plan. As soon as Katrina gets off work today we are leaving for Pigeon Forge, TN to catch a little Dixie Christmas and some nice big hooters.  She really had her heart set on going to the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede and now with me being out of work for a couple more of weeks re-cooping I figured this was a great time to go. It works out for the both of us, she likes Dolly and I like big hooters so it should all come together nicely. I figured I might as well leave the home front during this recovery period because god knows if I stay home I will be dying to get out and do some work that needs to be done around the place, work on completing our home or something. So if I'm not around I won't be tempted to do things that I might not should be doing. I just have to convince Katrina that sex is not hard, physical labor *wink*. SOMEHOW! Sex does help to burn fat and calories so that should be a healthy reason in itself. Right? Just for once I would love to have a woman that completely sees everything my way with no convincing but I doubt that ever happens. I'm sure my life span is far to short to ever encounter a woman like that.

Anyway, back to my journey...I figure we will spend several days out enjoying the scenery and everything there is to see on the way.  I have actually planned a route with several fun things to do along the way. She doesn't know it yet but we are actually going to try our hand at skiing as well. Holy cow that sounds like fun already.  I've always wanted to dig for gold and this is a perfect time of year to attempt that as well since it has gotten a little cooler outside too. Matter of fact there is several things I am going to try my hand at while I have the time to do it. Katrina is pretty active and loves a good challenge just about as much as I do and she HATES to lose which makes it even more fun on my part.  But, the truck is packed and loaded with plenty of warm clothes, blankets and all the necessities that one might need when they really have no idea where they will actually end up at. Oh yeah, I also booked us for a 2 day trail ride. Yikes, I love riding someone elses horse for that long of a time without knowing its nature. I need to pick out the oldest, grayest son of a buck I can find. Lord knows I don't need to be dropped on my head right now. Hell I'm just now getting to know who I am again. I think!

 I wish everyone a very special Christmas and a safe New Year. Please be safe and take care of each other. Life is short, I know that now.

Love, huggs and kisses........cHEYne
