OK, I need to start swinging again.

Let's start with this very cool scientific study.

Depression is a hard thing to fight. I know. I have been in a battle for a couple of weeks now. This is especially bad because I have 6 grand children watching me. I know it's depression because all of these kids always make me smile if not bust out in full blown laughter.

My wife has stage 4 cancer. Most of you, my loyal followers know that. We had good news last week. The chemo is working. Her tumors have been reduced by 30%. She is looking very good. The doc has asked her to go on a fat diet. Ice cream, muffins, candy, chocolate. Good for her, bad for me.

So I have been depressed. I think I'm at that overwhelmed point. Taking care of business, paying bills, buying groceries, running to chemo, on and on. I think a lot of this song says it well enough.

 Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels  

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields  

In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one 

I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

 
Running on, running on empty

  Running on, running blind 

Running on, running into the sun 

But I'm running behind

 
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive

  Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive 

In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own

  I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

 
Running on, running on empty 

 Running on, running blind 

 Running on, running into the sun 

 But I'm running behind

 
Everyone I know, everywhere I go 

 People need some reason to believe 

I don't know about anyone but me  

If it takes all night, that'll be all right  

If I can get you to smile before I leave

 
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels 

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

  I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through 

Looking into their eyes I see them running too

 
Running on, running on empty 

 Running on, running blind 

 Running on, running into the sun 

 But I'm running behind

Ok. I'm shaking it off. I'm ready to go again. I'll try to get some updates out there pretty quick.
