Today’s procedure involved inserting a subcutaneous Bard Power Port into my chest. This will enable them to easily give me intravenous meds over the next four months. A week from today I will have started the treatment.

Among the funniest ironies in this whole episode is that now I have to work to gain weight. I have shed half my weight from the peak of 325 pounds. I weighed 160 this morning. My goal had been 175, which is 100 lbs lighter than when I moved here 8 years ago. Life is funny 😆

We finally got the lung biopsy done today. Chemo starts on the 26th. I face the challenge with renewed psychic vigor. The times we live in are too interesting to bail out now. With Spring Training around the corner, I embrace the spirit of spiritual rebirth.

Teddy Roosevelt and the progressives of that era asserted that American imperialism was righteous because it was benevolent imperialism. Sure we exploited the resources of the countries we conquered, but we more than paid for them with lessons in the American Way. DJT is working the same con.

Meet Mr Nubbins, a neighborhood stray that has insinuated himself into the household. Dozing in the weak winter sunlight, he yawns contentedly.
That’s why everybody wants to be a cat.
