In a roundabout way…

More good news

I had a follow-up appointment yesterday for my thyroid cancer. I had an ultrasound and there is no sign of cancer regrowth! I also had some blood drawn and a flu shot. So far everything is looking good. When we get the blood results back we’ll be able to compare them [...]

Adrift

I’m searching for those dead old glooms.
I set out for a time adrift.
This body, this mind are not all spent.
Its scarred and lovely, warm and pure.

Pay attention America!

I have not had a lot of nice things to say about John McCain.  Watching the debate tonight though, there is only one clear choice for me.  McCain demonstrated restraint, integrity and experience in this debate.  I thought McCain schooled Obama on small business, foreign policy, and health care.  Interesting to me was how Obama’s [...]
