Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Here I Am!

Folks,
Yes Bert did email me and then when I replied he did not get back to me for quite sometime later... But here I am (To save the day??? Ah Mitey Mouse???) not quite safe or sound, especially of mind, but I'm still standing...

Nancy and I have been struggling with a whole assortment of business and personal, family garbage and so between it all I had to take a hiadous from most non-ecential activities like too much "E" crap which was all too tempting to get bogged down in when life really needs you. But it sure is nice to know that after all this time away, you guys still were thinking of me and even seem to miss me... Thanks guys, at times like theese it really is nice to know that some people are still caring about you...

I have been struggling to be my son's head coach over at Midstate youth hockey, but the parents on the team are such a bunch of selfish, self-absorbed jerks, they have run this volunteer, who is a parent just as they are too, out of town on a rail... All while the team struggles because one the league itself has no parody or checks for such for real, just lip service to it, and two, I have never had such a group of not ready to skate and work kids to work with in all my years of coaching... My fellow coach of the other Squirt team, had to run my guys thru a pratice recently so I could have a parent meeting to try and work things out with all these morons, and he too spoke of just how low energy and not ready to work my kids were...

But hey it's allmy fault. Blame the new guy in town who stepped up to do the job that nobody else wanted to do.. Oh and really I'm the old guy back in town because this is where I caoched many years ago when Nancy's was in med school before our own kids were even born... So I know, I am the insitutional memory how just how strong and good a program Midstate once really was... And I was one fo the successful coaches back from those days... Just like too much managed care, would yo please shut up and get out of my way and simply let me do my job??? Thanks...

Well, I ned to get home and be with the family for the pre-holiday cookies and good stuff... So let me run.. I will try and drop in in from time to time to say HI... But my life is still pretty crazy and in need of my fuller attentions... A happy and a healthy to one and all...

Thanks for the honorable mention and concerns, Be Well...

Paul

Yeah! Glad to have you back.
Hope your life settles down.
We have missed you.

Vickie and Friends,
Yes good to see you all too and thank you too for your kind words and support. One day when things settle down, perhaps I will write a small "Dis" on all that has happened in our lives. But much of it is private and personal and not for general and public compsumpsion, so let's just leave it at that shall we...

But the kids are good, and the basic mood no less the actually facts around here are much improved than they were this same time last year... And it seems as though we are all going to pull thru all of this in basically one piece, older, a bit tired and wiser, but slowly getting back on the right track, so I am a pretty satisfied if not even slowly getting happy again guy... What a long strange trip it's been (And I don't even like The Dead...). A happy, healthy, and safe to one and all... Be Well.

Paul

Paul,

If you don't let me give your email address to Peter, I am never going to hear the end of it. Or at least PM him.

What can I say? Paul is my hero!

FIGHT THE POWAH !!

Hey Paul buddy.
Are you back to stay and give Bert a run for most posts?
Or are you just popping back in to say HI?

More just to pop-up to say hello. Things are far from settled here in CNY, both on the business as well as the home front. But Bert emailed me because there was a thread of major importance to the two of us... And wanted to make sure I was in the loop which I was not... So I was glad for the reach out as people in our position frequently become too isolated as well as I really was interested in what he had to share with me too.... But that is for another day...

Speaking of long lost major contributors to the world of AC and primary care, has any one heard from dear old Roy at all. There's another good old user with a certain clarity for the lack of clothes on male royalty. I still get a giggle out of his reply to the editors at the AFP journal about going "E" only. He spoke of doing some of his most informative and life long learning reading in the "parlor" and how he could not envision himself balancing his laptop across his thighs with his pants down around his ankles, or something like that... Just gotta love it...

And dare I ask how and where is our fellow NYS discontent Dr. Vinny from Balston Spa, NY who loves to show the upper levels of the local medical society and the NYS Health Dept how rediculous and imposing their concepts on sharing health information and who should have to do the initial data entry, at what cost of time, money and energy???

Anyway, I've got a new major problem to clean up this week and I have not heard back from those that I would have hoped to do such... "Going Down???" Be well and a Happy and Healthy New Year to one and all....
