    Shoestring, I'm 64 and my body definitely can't keep pace with my mind anymore! Be at peace wherever you are now! It's all good considering. My friend, it's your story telling that keeps me coming to your channel. You can do that from the rails, or from home. Rest up and keep yourself well. God bless you sir.

    Loved the different twist on the video, it’s good to see you, you look good, better than I was expecting considering how you’ve been feeling! You’ll be back out there, glad you’re being patient. You just came off quite a whirlwind, Alaska was a big trip, and then a basically unexpected move! No real time to recoup in all of that, so here you are with a little extra recouping to have to do to make up for it. That won’t happen again… no more unexpected need to pack up everything and then unpack it! At least it was for a wonderful reason, it was a great move!!! Made me tired just watching the videos about it though… it’s so much work. So now maybe the time is right to just lay low and spend a little energy enjoying the new base camp. You’ll be back out soon!

This state isn't exactly business friendly, so I'm not surprised - I've watched several mom n pop businesses like that close around me over the years. I've never heard of Assinippi, MA, but it's a section of Norwell (02061). Well whaddya know about that? :D Been here 48 years and never new that! It's southeast of Boston between Marshfield and Quincy. I'm a central MA guy, so I wouldn't have known that. Interesting! Great stuff Mark - hope you feel better soon.
