Confessional

Truthfully, Mickey hasn’t written much since the heart surgery in May. He has been battling illness, financial problems, and medical expenses. He has also been struggling with the high Texas heat, the loss of the ability to drive for himself, and the scrambling to rewrite plans to move to Iowa. So, I, Ariel, his beloved posable plastic doll, am writing this post to clear things up.

He has been keeping this blog going every day, mostly with reposted old posts, which are both fairly well-written and mostly unseen by folks looking at this blog now. Old followers haven’t seen most of them, because nearly no one used to read them. I hope you like them. Especially this one that I wrote. It’s the first one that I have written because he used to ask his dog to write the fill-in post, but she is in doggie heaven now. And I have to have him type this for me because my plastic doll fingers don’t really move. But it is me writing this. I hope you like it a lot!
