Today is my the tenth anniversary of my CLL diagnosis. In ten years a lot has happened. I learned an awful lot about a disease about which I had previously known nothing. I researched, found, and still have world class care and treatment. I watched and waited. I then watched my lymphocyte doubling time soar…
via 8/19/18 Link Centre Performance – Tupelo,MS
Tupelo’s Link Centre hosted us in their program called Monthly Music Mix. I took my video camera but forgot to push the record button. Ooops! I did get an audio recording of our full show. You can hear it here: Luke Fisher and Jang-A-Lang alumnus Clint Jordan were also on the show. We had…
We are all limited by time. As it slowly passes through the hourglass, we seem not to notice its steady, relentless flow. We start out with the hourglass full, but it drains into the lower basin, uncontrollable, irreclaimable, each grain a passing moment that can never be retrieved. When the glass is full, we are…

I’ve got lots of Facebook friends. The friend requests have been pouring in as of late to the count of dozens per day, nearly all of them fake as far as I can tell. The latest are multiple requests from CEOs of agencies, booking agents, A&R professionals, and a host of others all wanting to…
No. It’s not really summer, yet, but today sure seemed like it. Summers seem harsher here than they used to be. Maybe my tolerance is faltering. Lots of things at my age are faltering. I am glad to be still be here. We have been working long hours in Olive Branch, Mississippi, in the throes…
I have been on the Ruxolitinib trial for two years now. It has been good so far. The trial was designed to address the symptoms of CLL and prove, disprove, or measure its efficacy in individual patients. The requirements of the trial were that each person enrolled must not be treatment naive, meaning that they…
