In the newspaper business, even when you get holidays off (in the newsroom, that would mostly be features, business and opinion staff; news and sports not so much), you have to do at least one extra day’s pages so that you can take that day off. That meant this past week was spent doing pages through Tuesday (usually it’s Tuesday through Monday). And since I usually write my column on Monday, I’ll be writing either today or tomorrow so I won’t be completely behind on Tuesday. Confused yet?
Yeesh. I need a day off after writing that paragraph. Get some rest and have some fun, folks!

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
