last post at this blog was 'aloha mon amour' and then there was some reference in January 2015 wherein I was 'there' at the spot of origin for a matter of less than an hour...I tiptoed away while he slept in his easy chair in front of the living room television...of course we 'talk' continually but it's me doing the talking and he's become the man I would have liked him to be had he been who I wanted him to be, which since January has been just the voice in my head like the coach...always think of this as the 'labor' coach...so I don't know where I stand in that department but I go along with the reassurance of that coaching ethic that keeps me on my chosen path
