The rock group Queen released their first album in 1973 after working together since 1971. The first single from the self titled album "Queen" was "Keep Yourself Alive." In later years Queen would release many more hits that became rock standards. The attached video is from 1977 and an American tour in Houston. Queen continued to be at the forefront of rock music until Freddie Mercury's early death in 1991 of Aids related pneumonia. I can remember a high school friend talking about Queen in 1975 or so, so off to the record store I went to buy a used copy of Queen. I ended up buying many more albums throughout the years.
In this instance, I am using a title that has obvious connotations to every one of us. How we keep ourselves alive differs for everyone, but the words of wisdom are relative to everyone.
I have been back to work for two weeks now- so far there has been no physical downside, and I am improving every day. Sadie is also improving, although we still have to limit her walking and running. We did a Dewey Lakes (Chinook Pass, Mt. Rainier) trail hike a couple of weeks ago, and a three lap 4.2 mile hike at Deep Lake today. We are getting ready for the real Fall season now too. Live Happy, Greg

I'm glad you are contiuing to improve. Sadie, too. Yes I can feel fall in the air, time for a new season. Christmas will be here before we know it.
Love, Cathy
A new season indeed! I hope we don't get the predicted extra rain and cold. GD
Greg-you sound like you are doing fabulous! Those are long hikes you are taking. Glad you and Sadie are both improving. All our ash tree leaves have turned to yellow here but we are still having beautiful 70s/80s sunny days. Enjoyed the Queen video-I did not know of that song. One of the guitarists for Queen, Brian May, I heard on the radio awhile back

He has a PhD in Astrophysics! Very cool.
Keep up the good progress and enjoy that normal daily routine of going to work!
Love,

Thanks Mary, Brian May is mucho talented. He still tours with Roger Taylor of Queen and they even played American Idol a couple of years ago- with the glam rocker Adam Lambert. I will call you about the other thing we conversed about.

I will add.
I honestly feel that we are placed on this Earth to give to it, not take from it and we always reap what we sow !
And from my stand point you are an excellent example of that.
Lord Bless and Keep You and Yours.
