I'd stepped away from all my online life last April to recuperate from my stem cell transplant. I just needed to focus on family and relaxing. But it's time to return.

First, I'm fine, doing very well, actually. Sorry I didn't respond to all the well-wishers in my last post in April, but I'm very grateful for the kind words of encouragement.

This seemed like the perfect time to return, having recently received my Christopher Ward Bel Canto.

Love the watch, very impressed by its finishing and overall quality for the price. I've been wearing it regularly for the past three weeks.

That's all for now. Just wanted to announce my return and of course post a wrist shot...

Thanks, Art.

My eyesight has changed dramatically since the transplant so it's only very recently, after new glasses, I've felt comfortable driving again. Unfortunately, I haven't had the 356 out for over a year because I was in the middle of turning it up and cleaning the underside and suspension when I was first diagnosed. In fact the only car I've felt comfortable driving lately is the Jag. I do miss driving the 356 and MG though. I plan on posting in the Automotive forum within the next few days about th
