..here is the way it is:I am a busy man-I work 2nd shift all week(I walk 3-to 6 miles a day at my job,sometimes another 2-3 in the mornings;mowing lawns and fitness walking);this arthritis (-OH;I ALMOST FORGOT THAT GOOD-OLD PLANTAR FASCIITISis gonna hurt me,walking or not-The weekends are spent with my wife,and resting from all that activity during the week.I have the attitude this discomfort I live with(thats all it is)is NOT gonna go away for any reason;even if I whine about it or not.My Dr.told me if I stay active,its gonna hurt a little;if I sit down and admit defeat;doing ANYTHING is gonna get more and more difficult..THAT MEANS: I have NOT lost the desire for detecting-I really think it is the fact that detecting season is almost done in Michigan;and I miss the water already...BY the way:i went out this morning;and walked about 2 miles and I feel pretty good right now...So-pardon me for whining on everybody's shoulders,and leaving tear stains on their lapels;I have never ran away from a challenge-and this is a life long one...dogface Steve...PS:I just might go out for some swinging Sunday after church...Im playing "I'll Fly Away" for service..I can still play and sing-thank You,lord!!!
