Well, the news this week is not about my tribulations, but the arrival Thursday of my Grand-daughter: Grace Ann Hazelton. She weighed in crying at 7'3" and she is now home with her family in West Hills. Here she is:
The chemo went fine - the nubmers are good and my body and mind seem to have adjusted to the routine. I was planning on going to LA after the chemo but I-5 was one lane south and 101 closed. Next weekend for sure.

Well, I am finally back on track with news to report.
But first, New Year's Eve was wonderful. Carole and I went to Erna's Elderberry House with Dave and Laura for a magical nite of Erna's super-party. Our friend Josh Harlan (Cynthia's son) is a cook/chef there and spent some time with us and showed us the kitchen where most of the magic happens. Here is a dinner pic:
Now for the update. When I showed up for Cycle IV - C, my bone marrow was asleep (platelets 56,000), my oncologist on the beach in Kauai, and the nurses and dox at the Cancer Center thought it best we hold off until my marrow fired up agian. So I took 2 weeks off and now my platelts are 140K + so its onto Cycle V - A. Things went very well. Not a shiver!
For Christmas, my children gave me a super I-pod, and it is clearly the Lexus of players - not just for teenagers. I can see why they can't keep them in stock despite their "rent payment" price. I listend to the moe. show on the Grandstand this year at Quincy and the NYE show in Denver with YMSB. If anyone wants copies of these shows on CD, let me know.
Other good news. After cutting short the chemo and taking off an extra week, I figured my PSA would keep rising, but it dropped 25 %; so everythng is coming up roses!
Remember: World peace begins with turn signals.
