Four To Go

December 16, 2023

After five weeks of nearly-daily radiation treatments, I finally hit the wall yesterday. I had my treatment in the morning, had some Wor Wonton soup for lunch, then had a session with my physical therapist. Then I drove home and was out for the count. I crashed, got up to help Kathy with the lovely […]

Meet Mr. Photon

November 14, 2023

Today was my first day of radiation. (25 to go) The machine was very large, but it was in a cavernous room, and when the machine was in operation, the operators scurried away to a control room behind their lead or concrete shields. The treatment room was called HOPE. My job was twofold. First, I […]

Glancing through the latest offerings on Netflix, I came to the conclusion that Netflix has more shows and movies about fictional assassins than there ever were real assassins in all history.
