I'm in the 5% group now.

95% of the glioblastoma multiform cancer victims die within 3 to 12 months. Remember last year on Father's Day when I had the wreck and they found the tumor? Well, today made a year for me. Now, I'm off the 95% list and on the 5% list. Looks like I'm gonna be around a long time.

I had a headache and, as per doctor's orders, I reported to the emergency room this morning. I ended up having an emergency catscan to see what the problem was and I'm happy to announce that it appears that there's been no change at all and another tumor wasn't the cause of the headaches. Kristin and Tim Jr thought it might be my new script for eyeglasses. If you've ever changed, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Oooooohhhh Raahhhhhhhhh.

Rail yard in Leesville

Thought I'd attempt to send a picture of the rail yard in Leesville. Don't know if this is going to work but here's a shot at it. This is just a couple of miles from Ft. Polk where I took basic training.

Tim Jr's Grandfather

I went to the nursing home yesterday to visit Tim Jr's grandfather. I bought him a dvd player so he could watch dvd's that Tim Jr bought him. They cover the "Pacific" theatre where General McGovern served when he was a fresh Lt in the Army. You should have seen his face. He was beaming.

I bought a card for him that said: "To a great American and the best grandfather on the planet". It did my soul good to see that face light up and that big grin! He's a cool guy who's cool index is off the chart.

Nothing better than making a World War II vet smile like a kid at a candy store!
