Yeah I mean I have to go fund me that my friend set up for me years ago and itβs still going on. People can still donate there and that will definitely help. The insurance will cover 80%, but Iβll still have to come up with like $1000.

Hopefully the surgery will be successful, but Iβm still going to have a pretty long recovery and it looks like I need to get moving faster on getting that mobility wheelchair. Just another complication in my long history of health problems. My surgeon was a really cool guy though. I have hope.

My buddy Ron hosts a radio show on Sunday nights that features interesting and rare vinyl albums. He and his crew talk about vinyl and they spin it on the show. The studio where they have been broadcasting from for 16 years is closing. Help them!

Rebecca Heineman, a true industry pioneer and the legend behind Wizordumβs Mac OS port, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer. She will be deeply missed.

Iβm really sad about the passing of βBurgerβ Becky Heineman. I was lucky enough to strike up a casual friendship with her over the years, mostly based around chats about Tass Times in Tone Town. She was just so smart and innovative. For me, it was really cool to make friends with a hero of mine. RIP

My kids FaceTimed me a couple times. But all in all, a very solitary day. Iβve felt a little isolated lately but Iβm loathe to change that now.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared in the past. In this Thanksgiving season I am very thankful. gofund.me/24f2f86a
The past couple weeks have been really tough. I have been dealing with a personal family situation that has been taxing and difficult. I am so behind on so many things that I need to do. And I really only have so much energy to do them. Here I am at Dialysis pushing on. Things will get better.
