Did you have chemo at some time in the past? This is what NBC's Robin Roberts had, and is back on the air after a bone marrow transplant.

Robiin Roberts is much younger than I am which makes a difference and there are some variants within the disease which make the transplant a non worker for me. It has not progessed to leukemia yet but the treating drugs are the same for each.

Feeling moderately better today and hoping that keeeps up this week.

Hey Spaw, pushing out the positive vibes and spirit up lifts for you. Last night I decided to run a little Wiccan type home grown event for you. So I put Art Rosenbaum on the music machine, stripped off all my clothes and danced wildly in a circle around my banjo .... guess you must be feeling a bit better now huh? Me, I'm still searching a way to explain it to the lady from over the way who came over to borrow some flour ... she peeked in the window. Might cop a temporary insanity plea.

Hang tough and get well !

awgeeziz Frank.....Ya' know I do feel better this morning and to think this may be banjo related is frightening. I mean I'll take it but is there some kind of slippery slope thing here? What's next? Bodhrans? Bagpipes?

Spaw has been out since the day he drew his first breath. Way out, far out, and beyond. He has outed outness where no outies has dared to go out. That's kinda why we love his greasy wrinkled ass. I base this conclusion, of course, on second-hand information. But he never explained why he needs a second hand just to wipe his ass. One can only speculate.

Spaw, you're about the only human being who makes succinct sense around here.
When you are done with the medicinal poison, give me a call on your phone:

Here is a dity by Cole Porter I made just for you.


When you call someone up
You have no right to privacy
for what you say
The constitution mentions secure books and papers
Not a word of privacy
If we all knew everything
about everyone's secrets
we would realize the big secret
is simpler than we thought.
Everyone's ripping each other off

CIA do it , NSA do it, Even kids at DOJ do it
Lets do it
Let's hack 'their' phones

Banks do it, Cranks do it, Even Facebook billionaires do it
Let's do it
Let's hack 'their' phones

Spies do it FBI do it . Even Murdoch,s who tell lies do it
Lets do it, lets hack 'their' phones.




With love,
Don the Hackman

More Vidaza next week and I ain't looking forward to it but it'll be here nonetheless!

A guy I knew in high school once said: "There are more people that don't like me than don't know me!"

You, my friend, are in the category of "Many more people like you than have ever met you." Revel in it.
