Sorry, Dani, my first post was a bit wordy. You have to scroll past it to see the most recent posts. Then you need to click on the Read More to see the rest.

Here is a link to the most recent post. BTW, so far as I know, you don't need to obtain a membership to view the site. In fact, you can even post a comment, if you want; but you will appear as "Anonymous" unless you are registered. My daughter, Kelly, is the webmaster and so I think you can be assured that your info won't be sent to every spammer in the country.

I've sent the first batches of photos to Kelly and imagine she will find a way to post them soon.

I'm hoping to meet up with Allan on Sunday at Old Songs and he'll head this way on Monday. Now the floor guy finally found time to rip out my kitchen floor on Tuesday and everything is a bit topsy turvy, but luckily Allan brings his own accomodations.... It's not like he hasn't heard before that I live in chaos...

Just got a phone message from Allan. He is somewhere in the wilds of Virginia for a Marine Reunion???? I thought he was in the Air Force. Anyway, he says it will be a week or two before he can get on line. So - he is alive and well and will check in when he can.

I talked with him on the phone yesterday. He's still in Virginia and may be there for a while. We got cut off and couldn't reestablish the connection, so I don't know much more than that.

I am, indeed, back in Virginia and I have been able, at last, to submit an update to the blog. That should help to fill in some of the more recent blanks. I just now hit the Submit button and so it might take a day or so before my posting appears. Check back tomorrow, maybe.

Also, there is a short clip starring Mudcat's own Wesley S. now available in the Download section. There is now a concerted effort being made toward getting my many photos up for viewing. I appreciate your patience and hope that the waiting and my own exhasperation will soon be at an end.

There's a new entry on the blog. What it doesn't say is that the reason I was suddenly called to the home of Mudcatter, BarbaraLynn, is because her husband, Casey, was to be undergoing surgery for the removal of a carcinoid tumor from where his esophogus joins his stomach. The surgery went well and Casey is recovering quickly, albeit painfully. He remains in the intensive care unit at present. Tomorrow evening we will be told the definitive results of the pathology report as to whether the tumor was indeed a true cancer. Whatever the result may be, I am certain that your thoughts and prayers will be much appreciated and will be of comfort to both Barbara and Casey.

Thanks

From: Allan C.

Update: Thanks to your good thoughts and to many other factors, the pathology report today was almost as good as anyone might have expected. Yes, the tumor was malignant; but virtually all of it was successfully removed surgically. The tiny portions that could not be extracted are such that chemotherapy is almost certain to negate. Casey was tested today for leaks in the site of the reattachment of his esophogus and although a tiny leak was detected, it is expected that it will self-heal without further intervention.

Thanks from Casey, BarbaraLynn and me.

Good news or at least as good as could be expected. I am declaring 2004 the last year that any Mudcatters are allowed a serious illness or catastrophe. If you have to get cancer or heart disease, earth quakes or hurricanes or whatever, you have until December 31st to get it out of the way. 2005 will be the Year Of The Healthy 'Catter. So it is written; so it will be.
Dammit. I am tired of bad news.

Because it seems that it will be forever before I can get my photos onto the blog website, I have finally caved in and decided to post my photos to a place where you can see them now. Although they will not be in any particular order, I think most of you can sort them out. Have a look here.

P.S. Thanks to JacktheSailor for giving me a hand with this.

Hi Allan. Got your message. One of these days I will be home when you call. Winter is setting in - got our first taste of snow. So I know I won't see you before the spring and maybe not until the Getaway. Stay warm and safe and among friends.

Allan left here at about 9:00 yesterday (Saturday) morning, headed for Texas for Thanksgiving.

I've finally posted an update to the blog that nearly brings it up to the current date. I'll definitely catch it up completely sometime shortly after Turkey Day.

Kelly has finally sorted out the problems she was having with the photos and now has a few (from the earlier part of the journey) available on the blog site. I'll post the rest sometime soon and may even include some more sound bytes.

Anna, "blog" is shorthand for "biographical log". You can read mine here. If you scroll down from the introductory message you can read the most recent post (clicking on the "more" to find the rest of it.) If you have lots of time on your hands, you can read the whole thing by starting with the bottom posting and working your way up to the most recent. I hope to have another update there soon.
