Hello out there,

Welcome back. Mother Nature is slowly pulling back the curtain on springtime here in the Bluegrass State, and all is well in my world. I hope it is in yours, as well.

A well-planned and highly-anticipated cruise from Ft. Lauderdale around the Caribbean is on our (my wife and me) late-April calendar. With things progressing so wonderfully at Indigo River Publishing, and with my Oregon marketing guru, RJ McHatton, working his magic, I decided against including Wi-Fi in our pre-paid menu of amenities to be selected when the cruise was booked. Gonna leave the computer behind.

I have found at every stage of my life, but especially now that I’m midway into my 70s, that friendships are everything. So I’m delighted we’ll be accompanied on the cruise by a wonderful couple and dear friends from our hometown who will be flying to meet us in Florida. For our part, we’ll be driving down to have the opportunity to spend a few days going and coming with another couple living in Orlando with whom I’ve been friends since 1980.

Years ago, a friend in Utah (who has since passed away) said something to my wife I’ve remembered to this day. She was expressing concern that I was a work-alcoholic with no hobbies to bring balance to my life. He said, “I beg to disagree. Larry collects friends.”

Making and keeping friends has never been difficult for me, and both endeavors bring great joy to my life. Thought it was worth sharing.

Until next week … Vaya con Dios
