Feeling Good

I love this time of the year. Sure it can be a pain in the ass with all the people that forget the "spitit" of things, the people that get offended at the sight of a Christmas tree, or want to cut you off in the parking lot so they might park their fat ass 20 feet closer to the door of the mall, but if you don't get caught up in the Black Friday rush or or buy into the hype that Walmart pushes to get your Christmas stuff up now!, it really is a nice time. Especially if we keep in mind what the various days actually represent regardless of your belief structure.


Where I live, we get beautiful fall colors and as we move towrds winter, the colors fade to the various shades of gray with bright blue skies coming into play. It is fabulous! It is almost impossible to look around and not be thankful. For me, having made it through my second brain surgery (with no residual side effects! woot!!) I can't help but be thankful almost everyday despite the crap that happens to all of us. Life is good.


Below, I have posted two artist doing te same song. I really like this song and it translates to how I feel. I like both versions and must admit, love playing them too. Enjoy!

I'm back

Well, I just got bcak from OHSU last night and I wanted to thank you guys for the good thoughts, prayers and well wishes. They seemed to have paid off. I made it through the surgery (with a real bad hair cut) and I am having minimum to zero side effects from them fella's messin' with my brain with an ice cream scoop and a set of ginsu knives.I guess they got (they hope) the bulk of the tumor, but with these kinds of things, you just never know, but hey - it is all part of the gig and sometimes you have to roll with the punches; know what I mean? I figure there are people out there with it way worse than me, so I just try to keep them in my prayers to keep things in perspective.

I have much to blog about, rant about and laugh about, so hopefully, I will be on more often.

Thanks again guys - love you all more than you know.

For those of you that want to see, here are some pics the day after the surgery. Also there is a pic of one of the slices of the pre-op MRI scan.

Juicy!

Tylenol?

Cool haircut huh?
