I thought I’d better get a note on the blog about why you haven’t heard from me the last week. So here goes…
Just over 10 years ago, I had a sheet of concrete land on me, breaking two vertebrae in the lumbar region of my back. To this day, and only now and then, a wild nerve in the area will get itself pinched somehow, and I’ll go into agony. It doesn’t happen often, so I don’t much think about it. However, as some of you folks have noticed I’m sure, I’ve gotten back into the retail genealogy guidebook business in a rather big way. In the process, I’ve been carrying too many large and heavy boxes full of books – and about a week ago, that little nerve in my back seems to have had enough. So whenever I move – but just when I move, mind you, my back hurts…
So I haven’t gotten a lot done the last week…
Today we finish setting up in the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel and will sell books for the next two days. Dale and Patty will be doing most of the work. I’ll supervise. 🙂 We will be open there today from about noon until 9:30 pm and tomorrow with the same hours.
Dear LKM,
I am sure sorry to read about your back. I know first hand about back problems and that is why I am writing this from my bed. The pills I take for my back are screwing up my existence (except for a few magazine articles and a book or two that I am finishing) so I hope and pray that you will not have the same problem.
I suppose I should give you the same advice I get from a disappointed wife, when I can’t do something she wants me to do:
“REMEMBER, YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF!”
Sometimes I think Job had better comforters, so I won’t say that to you.

Well, I for one have been checking for your good words daily and have missed you. But I certainly can sympathize with what back pain can do to your ability to even move, let alone sit at a computer. So get better. Will keep looking for your posts!
Yes, I’ve missed your blog updates. Take care of YOU. Will be at the Plaza on the 25th for almost two weeks … will you perhaps have your books there any of that time? Hope, hope!!!

My back hurts just thinking about your pain. Feel better soon.
