Billy Currington sings this country song – People are Crazy. It’s about two men meeting up in a bar, getting a few beers, and talking a long time about life, family, God, the women in their lives, politics and what they did when they were younger. They talked about what brought the much older man to Ohio and he said he really didn’t know why he was there. Billy sings what the old man says – “God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.â€
I love to go to yard sales. There is always something I find as someone’s trash that turns into my treasure. Â
I have to admit I am not a big fan of Miley Cyrus but she has this song out right now that made me stop and listen. It’s called “The Climb†and it’s about dreams, people who sometime get in the way or make negative comments, struggles people go through, etc. Â
Her last words in the song areÂ
I just finished my third round of chemo and have a few instances of nausea but not many other side effects so far.  Good news is that my blasts have gone down to 40 after shooting up to 58. I guess that means the chemo is working this round. The goal – 0 – so we have a ways to go. Meanwhile, I do get doses of platelets and pints of blood on a fairly regular basis as well as get regular outpatient physical and occupational therapy.

This week I felt well enough to go to the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros game here in Texas and went to see the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I’m also experiencing the local cuisine as my system allows. With the flu season coming I will have to be more careful as my immune system is down but I take my chances when I feel fairly confident of them and I feel strong enough to do it. In most instances I am still in the wheelchair – a whole different experience in itself. I am, however, able to stand and walk much better now and am using that wheelchair and walker as energy conservers as well as to make sure I don’t have a fall. Â
My wish for you is that you continue to enjoy life as much as possible. You just never know when things may change. Â
I admit I’m hooked on this show – Deal or No Deal. I think Howie is as “cute as a button†and am intrigued by the banker that no one sees except in the dark shadows of his station above the audience. The contestants agonize over winning or losing lots of money….when it really is all about chance. Â
