OK, I'm behind

I've been meaning to blog, but haven't made the time to do it.  It's my own fault.  So let's get caught up on a few things.


1.  I had surgery August 15 on my ear again.  This was to repair and hopefully fix the hearing issues I was having.  Long story short, the prosthetic piece I had inserted two years ago was too long and had shifted.  There was also a large amount of scar tissue.  The surgeon cleaned that up and made some adjustments to the prosthesis.  So far the results  have been mixed - I can hear better, but the ringing in my ear really hasn't gotten better.  That seems to have gotten worse at times.  I have a hearing test scheduled for mid-November, and we'll see what happens.

2.  Started my fall 2013-14 hockey season in September.  So far so good.  My team as of this morning is 5-0-1.

3.  As the NASCAR season winds down, I find myself watching less and less.  I'm disappointed with this new car, and disappointed in the racing.  The race yesterday was ok, but most during the Chase have been snoozers.  I'm really hoping Daytona is better next Feb.

4.  I got promoted at work.  It pretty much was a title change only.  It was nice to finally get recognized for my work and accomplishments.  I still have a long way to go in my career, but I'll make the best of it for now.

I promise to start writing more!!
