A new begining

Well I think it is about time to get busy and start using this blog for something other than a place on my hard drive.
  A recap is on order to Start.
I am a now 48 year old profesional driver. Currenty in the fight against Stage III cancer, and a 20+ year survivor of HIV.
Today is July18th 2014 of course, and This day seems like a good one to re-start the Blog. 45 Years ago today, glued to a Magnavox quadriphonic sound TV watchig the progress of Apollo 11. On the 20th I watched the landing on the Moon live. WOW what a day. It led to my life long obsession with Science and Space. Today I reflect on how much forsight JFK had by challenging the Nation to get to the Moon. So different from the President of today. A feckless wonder. Currently in Semi-retirement from the road. Had to with the health issues I was having. Cancer out of control, HIV meds failure, severe weight loss and all that goes with it. Today finds things dramaticly different. Weight is up 20 punds in 6 weeks, Cancer is all but in remission, and HIV back under control. These days loosing count of what number life this is.
  Tallahassee Florida, has been home now for 24 years. Longer than I lived in Boston. Thomas was from the area here ( my mate), He died in our home as he wanted on June 23rd 2010. He passed as he lived on his own terms, and gave me the best 12 years of my life. There will be ore on Thom later. This is just a brief overview today, nothing more.
  This will become more or less a Travel, FOOD, and yes sometime political posting of an old Wolf. Fourty-eight is not old to some, however, when you lead the life I have, 48 seems like 248 on certian days. So that is all for now with more to come. I can be found on TWITTER, and Facebook as well. Those are usually just quick notes and such. Thoughful and or travel, political, and food rants will be here.
