Chemo Update - Cycle 10-A

We seem to be on a 'run' since my biological markers (PSA) are the lowest they have been in a year and: my hair is back, my bone marrow needs less support and my recovery time each week is more tolerable! Onward and upward, although sitting in a doctors ofice with a needle in your arm for 5 hours weekly for 10 months seems to be a little tiring.

In Other News

Last night I got to fulfill a dream of a life time - it was the most fun I have had in the last 31 years with my clothes on! My friend Doug Noble, has gasoline in his veins and motor oil in his spinal fluid and now has a Kellson drag car with a nice Chevy engine with the trimmings. We went to Fomoso Dragway in BKFD last night and I got to make a run. At first I was afraind to even get in the thing - it is a very tight fit with your knees on your chest, but a after a some help from Doug (he is therapist when he is not dreaming of a 7 sec run) I managed to go for it with respectible time (> 100 mph). This picture is of Doug giving last minute instructions and saying the The Racer's Prayer with me.



Burning House 6


Burning House 6 was by most measures, 'best ever'. The food was plentiful, the karma of the guests wonderful, the beer and especial Margaritas cold, and the music great. We had two bands and they eventually joined together. Also we a
Hippie Kareoke Contest
(each contestant sang a verse to The Weight - Bob Dylan song) which was won by that wannabe hippie Ed Fereirra.



Here is a picture of the post party band and me - not exactlly a Bill Graham event.




C-ya next week.
