Busy busy

Not getting much chance to post. Been getting quite a bit of work, which kept me going all weekend. I’ve got another window job today, even though it looks like rain. Right now I’m waiting on the chimney guys who are fixing that pipe with the bee’s nest in it for my neighbor. But since we share an attic, I’ve got to stick around in case the sweeps need to get up there from my end. The good news is that I was up at 6:30 doing housework, oh joy, so at least the place is tidy. For now.

My brother in law is in the hospital. I think he may have had a stroke. He’s only 43, in great shape, not an ounce overweight, doesn’t smoke, only drinks light beer, works out, has a very well paying, secure, almost no-stress job (he’s an indoor cop - the guy who escorts the prisoners from the holding cell to the courtroom and back. Full cop salary, but no patrols and no chance of getting shot at. Plus regular hours). Living the perfect life. So he’s at the beach Sunday, and complains to his sister that his arms and legs feel tingly. Sis looks over at him and says “why is one side of your face sagging?” Uh-oh. Off to the hospital. Hopefully we’ll find out what the problem is today. I hope it’s nothing major; John’s a great guy and he grills up the greatest chicken on the barbecue. Bells Palsy? He was fine Saturday. Lyme disease maybe? This is New Jersey after all. I doubt if it’s Guillain-Barre. But I’m no doctor so what do I know. We’ll see.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
