How did you know? ;)

BTW, they wanted the surgery moved up to today. One of the reasons that wouldn't work, is we're getting ready to head over to Champaign, IL where we'll meet OF and his lovely lady and Scarecrow and Mrs. King for a bit of lunch and time for a visit. :thumbs:

Have to work at 6 am but I can't stop checking the forums. :)

Hope work goes well and that you'll soon be home again at Pixies. :)

I had a great time at a week long conference. My mind is so filled with ideas. I really missed my Pixies though.

You mean, it wasn't a cyberperving conference ?

Uhhhh. Nope. But it was equally as stimulating ;)

For the first time in 20+ yrs, I'm not driving a minivan. HHR, 30 MPG hwy mileage heaven.

Our weather has turned hot and humid again ... but with no rain in sight. :(

Anyway, looking forward to seeing OF and his lady on the 19th. Two very special people!

Mrs. and I tried very hard to find some red, white and blue patriotic panties to send to PF to use as the "PIR (Pixies in Residence) flag," but alas, none quite met the high standard we place on this noble symbol of Pixieland.

For me, it looks like on the 18th, I'll be taking some pre-surgery tests at the hospital here in anticipation of surgery on the 24th to remove the cancer nodule on my lung. The cancer is actually (and I may have said this before somewhere) a sneaky little set of cells from the colon cancer I had removed three years ago. The nodule is very small and the surgeon is an exceptional doctor that did my bypass surgery back in 2002. He indicated that there's about a 99.5% probability he can get it all and while removing this nodule, will try to assure no other suspicious activity is present.

Cancer was caught VERY early. The doctor's said that a small nodule would be considered any in the 0-3cm range. Mine is less than 1cm and probably could not have been detected much before now. That's good news.

Bad news is that I'll probably be gone from Pixies for the 3 or 4 days I'll be in the hospital; and, after I get home it may still be a bit before I'm up to sitting at the terminal and typing very much; but, hopefully that won't be that long.

:thumbs:

My thoughts will be very much with you DB. Sounds like you have some top-notch doctors looking after you, which has to be a good thing!! :D

DM

Watered my nephew's garden and his apple trees, wish it would RAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Spitting rain here in Wisconsin, but nothing significant.

I thought DB had come to AZ to visit me today. I pulled into the parking lot at the grocery store, and the car across the way had a license plate that said "I AM DB" on it. I took a picture, but evidently there is so much crud on the lens of my phone camera that it didn't turn out. :(

My wif'e greenhouse is being super productive: hot peppers, bell pepeprs, tomatoes, green beans, okra, basil, etc, etc, etc.

Its been a long summer in a short amount of time.

The soup is really good in the QANTAS Club at LAX.

Can't believe ... my surgery is a week from today and my wife goes back to work the week after that. Where has the summer gone? :(

It flew by. And I got nothing done.

Yay for getting nothing done.

Back to Oz with me.

Happy landing :thumbs:

So my sister decided to clean out the garage, I don't wanna work in the morning now, UGH!!!!!! Taking pain killers and heading to bed.

I walked away from it and apparently they can use the plane again.

Hey, if you took summer back to Oz with you, OF, how come it's still so hot here? :spin:

I just noticed on the "Strange Days" thread that it's 50 years since Norma Jean died.

I never knew before tonight how utterly gorgeous Gregory Peck was. My eyes have been opened.

Well, I've got today and tomorrow ... then, I'll be gone for at least 3 or 4 days due to surgery ... and it could be a bit longer depending on how quickly I feel up to sitting and typing. Oh well, I'll be virtually typing some really sexy posts, so be sure and virtually watch for them. :D

A virtual certainty.

I'll see you at the end of the work week. :wave:

Dude, heal well. And quickly.

Thanks. I sure hope and intend to. :thumbs: Doc gives me really good odds (99.5% success probability)! :)

Hope he didn't learn how to come up with probabilities from the weathermen. :yikes:

:D

Today's high temperature, 98.6F, with a dew point of 90F; relative humidity, near 100%. There's ingested matter rolling in from the north, and the National Body Service has issued a severe digestion warning for the next hour. This frontal system should produce more bodily mass over the next day or so.

Full frontal is always great.

tomorrow is the day the kids come back to school.

A day of opposites, the death of a very funny lady and the living of a grossly unfunny political arse.

2nd day of school and I didn't see any police cars looking for speeders. Last year for the first week there was 2 on every street around school. Weird.

They're probably saving their energy for a Pixie invasion next summer. :yikes:
