Up and Running

It's Saturday. The sun is shining. It's 15 degrees, headed to 23. Steely Dan's on the stereo ("Reelin' in the Years" - which I always thought was "Ringin' in the Ears, go figure - a cool song anyway). Haven't posted this week because I was sick. Tuesday was like a sequel to a movie: "Night of the Living Intestinal Viral Infection". Whew, what a time. It laid me low for 4 days! I really don't want to have to go through something like that again for a long time. Feeling better; a little slow, a little weak, but better. As Jim said, "It's good you've got that behind you". LOL, that was a good one!

I think I'm gonna have to get my haircut next week. After my shower this morning, there was plenty of hair in my comb. I was told this would start around day 12. So I guess I had a few extra days, given its day 17. The new look should be interesting. It'll be my summer look.

Started my last 4 day cycle of dexamethasone this morning. Next step will be another 4 day run of chemo, probably the first week of June.

Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

I don't get out much and when I do I never really encounter a crowd. So how the heck will I take a picture of one?  So for today's pic I went to my music collection and pulled out a couple of my Crowded House CDs. Do you know them? Crowded House is an Australian band that started out as Split Enz in the 70s, the brainchild of Neil Finn who hailed from New Zealand. They were most popular in the decade beginning in the mid 80s. Brother Tim also played in the group. One of my favourite Cr...
