A day makes. My Thursday/Friday routine this week was definitely a picture of life’s contrasts. Thursday was a great day while Friday was not so great. Here’s a quick summary:
Thursday – 08:30 a.m – I left Piney Point to pick up excess deck supplies from a job site to return to 84 Lumber for Brady. Doing so netted him a $960 credit.
Friday – I left my house at 7 a.m to head up to Prince Frederick for a Mohs surgery appointment.
Thursday – 10:00 a.m. – Following 84 Lumber and some other stops in Lexington Park, I met up with John Carbone in Scotland Beach and spent the next couple hours touring and enjoying his Gator Trails along the Bay and in the woods. I took these pics including some of the old cemetery on the property along with John’s dozen deer stands scattered about. Wonderful time, very relaxing and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you John.

Back to Friday – 8:00 a.m. I arrived at Anne Arundel Dermatology office in Prince Frederick to have a cancerous spot removed from my nose. It took 4 very long hours to complete the procedure and was an awful time. No photos here of me being cut up as I wouldn’t want to gross you out by doing so (not just yet anyway.) Here then is a shot of the office building where Anne Arundel Dermatology is located (one block behind Nick’s of Prince Frederick.)
Thursday – 1 p.m. thru the afternoon at Buzzy’s Country Store we had a very nice 94th birthday celebration for Charlie Simms. Excellent, excellent fun time. Lots of food and thank you to everyone who brought something. Charlie had a good time and all in all it was a great afternoon. Thank you to everyone for dropping by and wishing Charlie a Happy Birthday. Couple photos here were taken by Kim Wiley.

On the other hand, my Friday-afternoon-1 p.m.-on-time was nowhere near as much fun. Following my surgery and Pam driving me home, I was back in Piney Point where I spent the afternoon resting but hurting in bed with an ice pack on my nose. Here then is the gross out photo I promised you and yes, I felt even worse than I look.

Such is the yin and yang of life I guess. One day it’s good and the next day it’s not so good. But like the old timers say – any day that you survive is a good one. Even though my Friday was nowhere near as enjoyable as was my Thursday, I survived it and hey, it’s only rock n roll right?
