Good Bye My Friends
Depending on God sees to treat me, this is my last post on Blog-It. I am not afraid of the future, for I have taken all the world has thrown at me, and as Elton John sang, " I'm Still Standing." I'm not afraid, and openly taunt this disease several times a day. "You want my life... then Come And...

My Penultimate Post
I've made it home. I am feeling better than I have felt in the last ten days. I knew something was wrong, but it had slipped my mind that this very same thing happened last time I did this chemo thing. I'm supposed to be resting, and I will, but I have a few things that need to be done first. Don't...

Doing this from my cell. Apparently my chemo has slowed or stopped red blood cell production. My RBC (red blood cell) count was nearing 'critically low.' I've already received several units of packed bllod cells and got an IV of iron suppliment. I had this same problem back in 2013. Levels are...

I am not feeling well at all. I am going to wander over to the hospital about two blocks away. It's not a heat issue, I am in a ton of pain and my head is spinning. It's not a blood pressure issue... something else is wrong. I'll let you know when I get home.

Definitely not feeling the best this morning. I was going to wander off toward Whitefish Bay this morning to take photos and pick rocks, but at this point, I think I should just stay home. We are scheduled to hit the mid 80's again today, and close in on the 90's this weekend. I see a lot of...

For the UP, it's unusually warm. We are at 82 on our way to 86 according to 'The Weather Channel.' It was nice this morning, and I finally got three new short story e-books published. They had been sitting in my files for a month or more, and I finally got them out this morning. They should be...

While You See The Chance, You Take It
I spent part of the day thinking, and part of it wandering the forest and the lakes nearby. I was deep in thought, when a line from an old Steve Winwood began to come to mind. ' While you see the chance, you take it. ' As the song came back to me, I've decided that my last few columns here will...

A Return Email
I told you that I was sending an email to the folks that run Blog-It. I've always known them to be 'good people.' I received a return email a while ago, and I thought I'd share it with you. This is why I stayed with this place all these years. V

Starry Starry Night
Just for the record, Saturday will be my last day here. I'm sending a note out to Humayun so he knows what is happening. I'm not doing well at all right now, and while I'll continue to write, I won't be here. I've said that to someone via a note, and their first question was 'why not stay if you are...
