The Breakout of Blondie
I was born in the early 1970’s and this decade is my absolute must have for music. My earliest memories were artists like Elton John, Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles. If I find myself in a reminiscing mood I will definitely play songs from these artists, sit back and think back to those good old days. Songs like “Don’t Let the sun go down on me” takes me back to my days when I was living in Virginia Beach. Ah, there was nothing like the old style vintage stereo and those warm days of being a vibrant three years old. The Eagles classic “Hotel California” is another song that recaptures my early years of wonder and discovery.

Life after a Splenectomy
On February 3, 2020 I had a complete splenectomy. My symptoms began in the prior month as mild intermittent pain on my left side. I did not think much of this at first. I was very physically active with two jobs, one as an innkeeper; the other cleaning for my own private clients. In addition to regular daily exercise, it was not uncommon for me to have body aches. I was very active. Over the course of about a week, however, I began experiencing discomfort with breathing and my side pain escalated to the point of me making an emergency room visit. I was hospitalized after a dye contrast MRI found a 5 centimeter cyst on my much enlarged spleen. The normal size is that of about a human fist. Mine was twice that size and I actually felt very full across my entire abdominal area. The next couple of days in the hospital were for observation while I had a complete blood workup, as well as a bone marrow biopsy. There were no significant findings except that I was severely anemic, something that had been an issue much of my adult life. It was decided that a splenectomy would be best so I was given a series of vaccines that are necessary two weeks before the operation and sent home to rest until the procedure.

Lily Dale Assembly
Last summer my son and I took a trip to Lily Dale Assembly located in southwestern New York State. About an hour southwest of Buffalo, Lily Dale sits on the east side of Cassadaga Lake in a town called Pomfret. Lily Dale is the largest center in the United States of Spiritualist church organizations. A home to a large population of healers and mediums, Lily Dale attracts people worldwide on their quest for spirituality and new age interests. Unable to make it again this summer due to travel restrictions, I thought I would revisit through my story, sharing a peek of a genuinely intriguing little place.
