The cat scan confirmed the presence of…something…in my right lung, something about the size of a dime. The radiologist said that it could be one of three things: scar tissue from a previous infection, a sort of harmless cyst that’s not uncommon among residents of desert climates who inhale a lot of dust, or, you… Continue reading Medical Update (Don’t buy your veil just yet!)

A little scary
I had a physical last week, the first in a number of years, although I’ve had a complete blood work-up annually for at least the last decade. Part of the physical was a chest x-ray. The doctor’s office called today to tell me that the x-ray revealed a spot on one lung, and they want… Continue reading A little scary
The Big 3-O
Today’s a special day for me. I don’t write much about my family, in order to respect their privacy (I got special dispensation from Abbye for the photos and the posts… and it’s costing me big-time in the puppy biscuit arena). But there are some occasions which are so special that they cry out to… Continue reading The Big 3-O
OK, OK…Enough already!
Since announcing the impending closing of the Gazette, I’ve received many emails, comments and trackback links regarding that decision. After reading and re-reading them, and upon further reflection, I believe the following sums up my reaction. I’ve never seen such a simpering mass of whiny, infantile mewling since Hillary confronted Bill about Monica. As that… Continue reading OK, OK…Enough already!

Blogging has been fun, exciting,… Continue reading Adios, Amigos
Redefining Age
Let’s see…hobbies and pastimes…OK. I snow ski, windsurf, scuba, cycle (both single and tandem) and run. My usual cycling workout is 20 miles, 3-4 times a week, alternated with a four mile run on the "off" days. I’m a volunteer camera operator for our televised church services, and I build websites for money. Anything else?… Continue reading Redefining Age
Fun with newspapers…Evidence of blogging discovered in archaeological dig…
Wonder if anyone at the MRT will notice that in this morning’s lead story (link n/a) about City Councilpersons considering re-election, they ran a photo of Mike Bradford (the County Commissioner) instead of James Bradford (the City Councilman)? Granted, they look an awful lot alike, although Mike is taller. 😉 Then there’s this headline: Guantanamo… Continue reading Fun with newspapers…Evidence of blogging discovered in archaeological dig…
And so it begins…
So…I have a blog…hmmm. It’s a little anticlimactic.
