Where in the World is Toritto?

Some of you may have been wondering where Toritto has been.  Most of you haven’t seen me reading lately.

Well regular readers know I was in New York three weeks ago for the funeral of my Aunt.

I flew back to Florida two weeks ago yesterday and posted the following day.

That night, thanks to the inside of a germ incubating aircraft I was sick as the proverbial dog.

Nauseous.  Acid reflux.  Aches.  Pains.  A hacking dry cough.  Stuffy head.  I must say  the old man was down for the proverbial count.  I spent the better part of a week in my recliner living on chicken soup, over the counter cold medicines and Alka Selzer.

I was in no mood for writing or reading.  Just sleep.

Having no fever and not overly congested I waited for the airplane disease to pass.

It did and I am now fully recovered.

This weekend is Easter – my holiday.

My girls and family are coming (one arriving tonight) and Clark will be here Sunday.  I am hosting 15 or so.  As usual I cook nothing.  I call the caterer.

I will be back next week  to catch up on my reading and post some recent thoughts.

Happy Easter!  Best regards from Florida.

About toritto

I was born during year four of the reign of Emperor Tiberius Claudius on the outskirts of the empire in Brooklyn. I married my high school sweetheart, the girl I took to the prom and we were together for forty years until her passing in 2004. We had four kids together and buried two together. I had a successful career in Corporate America (never got rich but made a living) and traveled the world. I am currently retired in the Tampa Bay metro area and live alone. One of my daughters is close by and one within a morning’s drive. They call their pops everyday. I try to write poetry (not very well), and about family. Occasionally I will try a historical piece relating to politics. :-)

    Sorry about your aunt, Frank. And getting ill. We came down with terrible chest colds after riding in the plane last December. Next time, we’ll have a box of antiseptic cloths for everything we touch.

    *The inhabitants of our home were sick. Our home was “sick” of Christmas decorations. Haha
