We started at 5:30 yesterday morning. After many verifications and communications with Facilities Management, closing a switch or two in one place, and opening three separate switches in others, we took the power out on eleven dormitories at Ole Miss yesterday. Within minutes of taking the power out, we had gotten to the point where…
http://www.moongiant.com/phase/today/ About two weeks into the increased dosage of Ruxolitinib, I am experiencing some improvements in the CLL symptoms, at least they are noticeable over the last couple of days. My fatigue levels are back down some, the bone and joint pain is subsiding, my lymph nodes seem to be smaller and less tender, and…
“I’d like to speak to Bob, please,” said the Nobel Committee Chairman in his best Norwegian accented English to the person who answered the phone at Ram’s Horn Publishing, the only number of any outfit that had anything to do with Bob that his underlings could find. “Bob’s not here,” answered the person at the…
There is the old expression, “Caught on the horns of a dilemma.” We’ve all heard it before. It’s as if a dilemma is an entity unto its own, having horns like a bull in the ring with a Matador. It’s not just one horn he must avoid…there’s two of them. Though there’s four dangerous hooves…
I am often asked, “How do you do it?” I am asked this by many others who have started their own blogs only to find themselves with a dearth of something to write about. I have been asked this a half-dozen times today. The askers have the best of intentions, but they think they lack…
I seldom try to organize my thoughts when I start writing. Perhaps you’ve noticed. No doubt, you’ve noticed. I just start and let ‘er fly from there. “We probably need to start you back on regular treatment (formerly chemotherapy and immunotherapy, now just immunotherapy),” said Dr. Gooday at the Big-as-Texas Cancer Center (BATCC) on Monday.…
Yesterday I wrote about time distortion. I had a struggle with confusion about the time. The only inconvenience was to myself. It caused no damage. It caused no problems, other than the inconvenience previously mentioned. Today, I write about the absence of the distortion of time, for time will eventually stop. When I wrote, I…
I was a victim of time distortion. Needlessly, I might add, but victimized nevertheless. My old nemesis, amperage-interrupting fatigue, has returned, one of the many symptoms of CLL. Some days are better than others, but some days the power just goes out. I had two days like that this week, Tuesday and Thursday. There’s not…
We always want the lesser of two evils, but we wind up with evil either way. It is not a pretty picture. “I have carefully examined the two evils facing me,” said one valiant sport, a real self-starter, “and I have decided to select the greater one just so I can see what I am…
Yes, I watched the debate. I was not impressed. Hillary promises things she can’t deliver while claiming her plan will create millions of jobs without increasing the national debt by raising taxes on the wealthy. Trump promises to create millions of jobs by cutting taxes on corporations. Neither one is likely to do either one.…
