Change from the top down.

You can't even imagine how frustrated the last few hours have been. Trying to get something to work that just refuses to cooperate. Finally I got some small modicum of satisfaction. (Hint)You're reading it  I decided it was time to tell stories again. Not create stories, just tell those that find their way to me and through me. It's been a long time coming. I'm back!

You can't imagine how frustrating it has been to be out of the blogosphere for the last five years. 
I only just now discovered that my original www.chuckpace.com/Thoughtpukes blog is no longer around. That blog was a pride and joy for a very long time.  Over five years of blogs and a hundreds of photos are all gone now.  But then again, that too is just a drop in the bucket to the changes I've recently encountered. 
In the last four years I've downsized just about every aspect of my life. Voluntarily and involuntarily,  so why not just start over again. Those days are gone just like those old blogs are gone. The wife and I separated after 29 years. I moved into a one bedroom duplex for two years. My mom slowly died from ovarian cancer.  I retired from the job I had for 25+ years. Moved a small portion of my possessions at a yard sell, moved another portion into a U-Haul and headed south to Old Town Florida.

I was there to keep my dad company, and help him with medical treatments and getting around.  Two months later dad had a massive stroke.  Dad was buried on Veterans day just weeks before the one year anniversary of moms passing.  Two weeks after Dad's funeral; another U-Haul, more packing and storing of parents possessions and my possessions.  Since then I've been living with my daughter's family in Port Saint Lucie.  I've got all the change I could hope for.
