So, 2023 is coming to an end. For me, it was a year in hell. Sept. saw me in hospital for a serious infection that saw my bladder completely shut down. I was told in a follow-up that I should have died from it. As is, I'm tethered to a catheter going forwards and was in hospital again in October for another infection. I've been told to self monitor for future infections and can't do anything to prevent them.

So, yeahhh, not a great summary for the year. I'm hoping 2024 is better for us all and I'm around for it all...

Take care, everyone!!

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Lest we forget.

O Canada! Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada,

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Canadian anthem from 1980...can never remember new version.

Happy Canada Day, my fellow Canadians.

Saw that I have that many folks watching my profile and I'm a little at loss. Do folks watch me to see the covers, text stuff I've written or something else? Post here if you want to answer this...

Good: I collab with a great group of 3D artists in making adult oriented comics at the usual places and have two new artists recently that I think are extremely talented.

Bad: My health is declining. Took a bad fall back in November and between that and side effects from a vaccine shot, last six weeks have been pretty sucky for a number of reasons. I'll persevere but my mood isn't the greatest recently.

Looking ahead to 2023...probably starting a new comic at one site that brings back a familiar face or two. Beyond that, hoping I get to the end of 2023 feeling better or at least stabilized.

Regardless, Happy New Year to everyone..may 2023 be a better one for us all.
