Relay, Jazz Fest, A week of Radiation, Art in the Park

Good grief, too much is going on all at one time. My house looks like the Salvation Army Dumpster blew up in it. Everywhere!!!

Remnants of Easter decorations, a piece of Xmas garland still around the neck of the monkey lamp on the end table. Yikes! I must gain control and soon. Lana & Phil are coming the end of June from San Antonio. YEA! I am sure there are gremlins making all of this clutter. I have burst of energy, or maybe it is just the need to resume some sort of normalcy. However, after a day of excess I pay dearly for several days afterwards. Major wipeout!

Radiation is going well, LeMoine is wonderful, and I get to see all of my Chemo friends every week day. I pop in strip down my top and get in position for the 3 different shots. All toll about 20 minutes from start to finish. I am using the Emu lotion that Susan Wells gave me and the hair follicle stimulator lotion on my nappy head that look on top like Jim Baker/Matt Lauer. I caught him on TV at 4:00 AM one morning and realized my 1 month of hair growth looks like his mangy hair. It is way more salt than pepper in color, and straight as a board. It's thick around the back to the crown (ear to ear) however pretty thin on top. Maybe I ought to have some hair plugs now.

The relay went well, 31 teams, the goal was $89,000 for South Baldwin and as of the night of the Relay we had $85,000 I am sure that there is more money to trickle in. Great job by all.

The last Sunday of Jazz Fest in New Orleans was GREAT! It did not rain. My friend Scott Gould drove me over & back and carried my bag chair all day. What a good friend. I had the most wonderful beer of my life about 4:45 as I was listing to Steely Dan and it was sooo hot. A nice young man from Calif. offered me an ice cold Miller Lite and I took it. It was the first beer since October. I was HOT the beer was Ice cold and I sucked it down like a frat boy in about 4 swigs. It was like nectar from the gods.I had a second one during Harry Connick and it was not as good. It was great to see Marnie, Edwin & Jessica at the fest. Marnie wore her My Friend Gave Boob shirt and I had on my "I Gave Boob Shirt" we caused a bit of a stir at times.

Art in the Park was Hot Hot Hot... I was at the Park Saturday from 10:00 Am until 5:00. On Sunday I could not get up until 10:30. Way over did. Trying to pace myself. Slow to regain stamina.
