THE LAPTOP IS BACK (AND SO AM I)...
(I love this artwork...the girl's identity is left to our imagination!)
It's very nice to have the Laptop tuned up from the warranty repair shop and to be back online. I look forward to catching up with all of you who were so thoughtful to keep me in mind in recent weeks. The old adage "Out of sight, out of mind", clearly, did not apply here. And I am grateful to each of you for your Love and Friendship. My shoulder was surprisingly mentioned in a number of your comments out of concern, so I feel compelled to tell you that the physical therapy is coming along extremely well. We expect that I will be in skilled care (Sports Rehab) for 3 more weeks after which I will resume full workouts again. My 12 mile nightly biking has continued and I expect that we will have to modify my nightly workout routine (including a return to weights) to accommodate keeping the shoulder strong and healthy. About the only thing I really need now is a visit to my hair stylist (as in "Who do you trust?"--a recent BLOG that I had fun with). Let's see, what else?...Oh yeah!...

Our work just resumed on "A Concert for Trevor Tredaway" after the holidays put a hold on our endeavor here in Phoenix to organize a dinner concert with a special artist. My marketing and event partner is a sweet lady whose son underwent successful open heart surgery, and I am very pleased to report that he is recovered and already back in school! So, we are now resuming work to reach out and identify a musical artist willing to work with us and then get a scheduled date on the calendar. Trevor's Mom, Melinda recently posted an update on Trevor's continuing progress on his Caringbridge website. I hope you will stop by and leave a comment of Love and Supportiveness for this special little boy who means so much to so many of us. Trevor will turn 4 years old soon. Can you believe it? His new photos are posted on his site and I cannot help but laugh with Joy, as his unique personality and sense of humor just comes shining through in those photographs! See if you agree. Anyway...as we continue to assemble components of this event, we will bring you more information. You may remember that this began as an effort with local artists (including myself). But after revisiting that plan, it just made more sense for us to reach higher with our goals and God-Willing we are going to pull off this benefit with a lot of fun! Let's see, what else?....Oh yeah!... David M. Bailey has resumed touring again! Proof positive that you can't keep a good man down. Check out his touring schedule on his website (Trevor and David's sites are listed on my Blogroll). He may be coming to your town soon. Don't miss his performance!

Again, I sincerely appreciate your loyalty, your continued interest, all of your good wishes and your repeated visits here to my site. I have been able to catch up with most of you, however I have been remiss with others. So, be patient and I will definitely be over this week to visit. That's it from here...
Love and Friendship!Michael

Glad to hear progress is being made with your shoulder, getting your laptop back and with the benefit.
Have you thought about approaching Rick Springfield for the benefit? He is usually very forthcoming for children in need, as we both know well.
Have a great "Laptop Is Back" week, my friend! ;o)
Love and hugs,
Diane
welcome back!
Diane: We are wide open to all ideas! Thanks for stopping by and visiting little Trevor. I know he appreciates you! lol and have a good week!!!!:)
Sage: Thanks a lot! Windows has already been unstable with the Vista operating program. I am hoping for the best and will be by sortly to see what you have been up to!:)
Welcome back Michael. I love the pictures over at Trevor's place. He is such a cutie pie. Hopefully this will be Trevor's year. I am glad to hear too, that your shoulder is doing better.
Nice to have up and running again. My prayers go with Trevor, and I salute you for fighting for him.
12 miles is a decent ride. Except for the once-a-year Ride for Heart & Stroke research (50 kms) I usually ride much less than 12 miles each day I go out.
Glad things are working out for you!
Love, Jess
Welcome back -- you are a far more patient person that I could be without a computer at my disposal :)
Cosmic: It is with tremendous gratitude that I can report Trevor is situated in the very best position for a long-term treatment plan aimed at a full recovery and a full life. However, challenges remain. The family has significant medical expenses and Trevor;s story needs to be told as badly as it needs to be heard. He is adorable and I have committed to helping him! Thanks for your Love and Concern Cosmic! YOU SO ROCK!:D)
P M: Your message and prayers mean so much at a time when my tender thoughts go to dear Penni, you and your entire family. That you express such love and concern is a testament to me that Love Is Strong! Thanks, my friend!!!:)
Martini: I average between 2.3 and 2.6 miles per minute and it is the single most important exersize right now I do among the stations. The measurements for both arms, flexibility and a PT report to my shoulder specialist went out two days ago. We are on the right path and I am Determined! That said, I want a ride in your DMC 12! :) Then a drive!!!!
Jess: lol! I am on my way over...:)
Becky: At the end of the day, I figured "What was the alternative?" On my second night with the PC back, I had to reload recovery discs and it took over 3 hours. Maybe my luck has now changes. Heym lol! And Happy New Year!!!!!!:D)
YAYAYAYAYAYA!
email me, and we can figure out a time.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
Girl Rants: Will do! ALL: Dari will be interviewed on my Blog at a future time; this is not a date. We are good buds! She is a very unique photographer and we will visit about her work. Just had to clarify that! :)
Glad to hear the laptop in back home.
Did the girl come home with it?
Thanks for coming by and leaving such nice comments on my blog. You must be tired having to catch up on that much reading.
Walker: So far, no. But I have made it a point to "keep a light in my window"! ;)
P M: I enjoy your Blog and highly suggest it as a Great One to read!
Michael! if you come see me, come to the tender graces blog -that's where I'll mostly be blogging now - the YOG was a collaborative effort between R&T writers (four of us) and we ended that on 12/31.
But, of course I know you are busy, too - so don't worry if you can't swing by - I just am glad to see you positive and healthy -
your friend, kat
Kat: Well I'm positive, but still working on the healthy. I'll be right over! Love ya! :)
This pic you posted remembers me when I fancy dressed as a cowboy girl;)....long time ago in a carnival party..heheheh...everyone there and on the streets called me Walker Texas Ranger...heheheh, was funny indeed;)..
Hey, Maria! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! My Spanish is very bad but I'll stop by anyway. If you dressed that way here, I'd have to be your bodyguard to keep the womanizers away! :D)
Great news Michael and welcome back.
Glenn: Thanks! It's good to BE back!!:)
Ugh now my laptop is sick but i've still got the trusty desktop!
Hi Michael
Glad your back on-line and I think it is great what you are trying to do for Trevor. You are a good friend. Thank you also for the donation to Camelot in Gunner's name.
We will be back in Arizona sometime and we look forward to meeting up with you, my friend.
Janna, Gus, and Garlynn
