I’ve been knocked down a few times in my life.  My dad taught me to just keep getting up.  I did.
2018 landed a near knockout punch that I never saw coming:  a perforated colon and septic.  I was face down on the mat when the doctor counted to nine before I got up.  A close call.  Too close.

On this eve of 2019, know that this ‘ol bear is up, dancing in the ring and ready to take on the world again.

Get ready.  Here I come.  Ding!
