It is just past 0130 on Monday morning. I am due to head back up to Michigan in a few
hours. I am also due at the doctor again on Tuesday afternoon. The remainder of the
season hinges on the outcome of that appointment, and I am somewhat fearful that my
dream may be coming to a close. And I don't like it. Failure is not something that I take
lightly, nor is it something that is supposed to be on the radar. But it is, and I may have
to learn to accept not everything that I encounter can be successful.

have somewhat reconnected. We have spent more time together over the past couple of
weeks than we normally would spend in a month. And it was neat. I enjoyed watching
television with her. I am sure that she was getting aggravated with me for wanting to do
everything myself. The phrase "No one will be on the Yukon with me," has been uttered
many times. It was great though, being able to spend time together. I am usually out
and about doing something else, and I sometimes might rush past her and overlook our
time together. In my current condition, I couldn't, and it made me realize that I liked
doing nothing with her.

So if I am done and am unable to move forward, I guess I can't call this experience a
failure. I did get to watch television with my wife.

Thanks Dent.
