Dana Farber tomorrow morning

Three months can zip by when you'd rather it drag like Summer twixt 1st and 2nd grade.

This is a full body scan. Though the lymphoma manifested itself in my neck, because of the nature of the nasty, it can crop up again anywhere in the lymph system.

I need to drink some awful stuff on the way there to expedite my getting into the machine.  My doctor won't be there but her very-very competent NP will be.

I have extreme faith in these people.  They are no nonsense - tell it like it is.  My favorite.

The New Blogger Editing Page Didn't Work.

It worked in Rye Cake but wouldn't let me edit Belltowernews.com.  And, when in Chrome 12, every time I hit the shift key and a letter, if that letter is the same as the first letter in any of the Chrome add-ons, it brings that features screen up.

Very odd.

Lost Four Dogs in One Year

Though we have only a cat now, in our extended family at the beginning of this year there were four dogs. A Belgian shepherd, a golden lab and two standard poodles.

This morning the last of the them, a joyous standard poodle called Cirq, had to be taken to the vet and put down.  She belonged to my wife's mother and son's grand-mother.

Now our cat is the last pet in the extended New England family.

He's called Booger.

Civilization on Hold

If I step back for a moment and look at the state of the world, it's looking oh so uncivilized. The thing is it probably is much more so than it was 50 years ago.

Our ever widening ability to catch a glimpse in real time of it all, instead of through the filtered delay of weekly or even monthly magazines, is what's making it seem so wild.

If The Queen spit out of the window of the Royal Carriage as it crossed the Thames I'd hear about inside the hour followed soom by the opinions of everyone for river ecologists to organizers of the spit championship.
There would too, I guarantee, be footage of the act on YouTube.

To escape all this, we will be on the coast of Maine for the holiday weekend..
