“Are we there yet”?

The youngsters plaintive cry echoed down the the train's observation car causing more than one head to turn and smile. We've all been there.

1001 horsepower, that's what the ad said. Apparently 1000 horses wasn't enough. They had to emphasize that 1 extra horsepower. If you are going to be ostentatious you may as well be sure people notice!

My recent sojourn into the realms of radiation therapy has produced some unfortunate side effects. Chiefly a condition that resembles diarrhea. Grandma Oddball suggested that I start using the B.R.A.T. Diet as a method of controlling the condition.

“GREAT” I thought! Who wouldn't want a diet of

  • Bacon
  • Ribs
  • Alcohol
  • Teriyaki

Once again I'm thrown into the realm the unknown. After several false starts it was decided last week to do a version of radiation therapy to try and kill the offending pancreas cells. In short I get to be guinea pig again as no one has tried this procedure on “healthy” (i.e., non-cancerous) tissue before. Well, someone has to be the first I suppose and if it works (75-80% chance of success is the guesstimate) then at least one of my medical problems will be mitigated. Here is a personal and sometimes humorous account of what's happened so far.

I was assured that this whole procedure would be painless with minimal side effects. It's too early to comment on the side effects but I can comment on the pain; THEY LIED! Well perhaps lying is too strong a word since they weren't aware of my back problems but the procedure was definitely not painless.

Twas a rowdy group imbued with raucous laughter watching the black curling smoke lazily ascend into the bright morning sky above that cloaked hilltop mound. Indistinct chants and strange music filled the clear bright air with a fog of curious excitement. -- another young and stupid incident in my life for your entertainment.
