We are in the same club.......sort of. Eleanor has survived Lymphoma. My go around with Renal Cell is almost pedestrian in comparison.
She is a wonderful sounding board for a crusty old sea dog, such as myself and I will always treasure her friendship.
So enjoy this most amazing voice.................I do.

Mother, Mother Ocean
Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky

Colonoscopy
Got it done. Nothing there at all. All clear! I get another one in five years. Relief. It had been since summer of 2003 since I got the last one. A bit long in terms of the interval.
But it is out of the way for now.

18 Months
Tomorrow is the 18 month mark. Of when I had my left kidney removed. The one with the mass on it. Turned out to be cancer after the pathology was done.
The scar is not much more than a line, with some small tuck and roll effects.
It is also the same mark for quitting smoking. Yup. I spent four days in hospital, it was fairly easy to finally do it. But I did have some incentive, as it were.
So thanks go out again to Ann, Buck, kc, Snigs, Jeff, Kath, MUD, Old NFO, Wyatt Earp, Opus 6 and all the rest. For the support and understanding. I will not forget.
I love ya all!

Staind MTV Unplugged - It's Been Awhile
Always liked this song. And this is the uncut version. Be forewarned. It kind of fit on that day, September 4, 2009, when a CT Scan found a Mass on my left kidney.

Two Years Today
The above is the emblem of the outfit in Wichita that I was laid off from on 26 February 2009. Then came all that time out of work. Until the 9th of November, when I began out here at Edwards.
Two Years already?!?!?!?!

I remember her for The Fighting Prince of Donegal. And I saw her on Masterpiece Theatre on occasion.
