What do you get when you cross the apathy diet, the coping diet, and Thanksgiving?  Weight gain.  How much?  Enough.  The chemo diet had better pull me through….Yikes!  I get the port installed on Teusday and first treatment the following Monday.

Yes, this South Beach update is six days late.  Ask me if I care.  The beachhead is secure, the front is miles away.  So business at the beachhead is normal.  We don’t war here, we just plan wars.  So my plan is to rely on chemotherapy to help fight this battle.  It may not complete [...]

Well, maybe not Lazarus, but my server has come back from the dead.  After two trips to CompUSA and one trip to Fry’s, the server is back in service.  While I did have a hard drive fail, the fix was not as simple as replacing a hard drive.  That is the way I started.  I [...]

All hard drives die.  That is just a rule.  Some die earlier than others.  The hard drive in my old 486 is still kicking.  Well, it would be if it was still running.  It is serving as a door stop now, or some other form of modern art.  An eleven month old drive is failing.  [...]

The drive home on I-45 was similar to the drive down, just not as pretty.  The sky went from blue to gray to black.  Not really any pretty colors like during the sunrise.
I left the hotel parking garage at about 2:10 and got home at about 7:23.  I had two stops, one for gas, and [...]

I weighed myself this morning and I was a half pound down.  Not anymore after tonight’s meal.  I have not kept the entire South Beach diet the last month or so due to cancer and vacation.  I keep hoping that chemotherapy will take off the rest of the weight.  I may have a few South [...]

This has been quite the day.  I backed out of the garage at 4:20 this morning heading to MD Anderson in Houston.  That is about a 270 mile drive.  10% the way there, or 27 miles, I was at 75 and Mockingbird.  Go figure.  Ennis was just past the quarter mark on my trip.  My [...]

…and probably should be.  This takes talent, and we think he actually had to write the sheet music for this just to keep up.  Enjoy this tribute to John Williams:

The beachhead is secure.  Like really secure.  Like the posts should be coming from the front lines, not the beachhead.  I guess it gives me the excuse to type the word, ‘beachhead.’  I am still maintaining my weight loss of 28-29 pounds.  I have not lost anything more for quite a while.  I have enjoyed [...]

Okay last week I completely forgot to post a South Beach update.  Uhmmm….I have lost the weight gained during the trip, but not anything more.  So, for the last month or so I have pretty much maintained weight.
