I've noticed a general malaise as of late

In case you hadn't noticed [or cared], I haven't posted anything in over a week. Not that that's anything earth shattering, but I have noticed that many of the other blogs I occasionally read (seemingly less and less as time goes by), haven't been posting for an even longer time.

One of my favorite bloggers, and fellow MCL'er, Susan C hasn't posted in over two weeks, and it's been over three weeks since she posted on her other blog, Open Mouth, Insert Fork. Even Becky hasn't posted since 9/27, and I've never known her to be at a loss for words.

Plus there are others who have been just as lacks, which I won't even mention. [If you're interested you can click on the links to the right to see what I'm talking about.]

weatherNow I don't know about the others, but as for me, I just don't seem to have the desire to post that much any more. I know I'm posting something today, but that doesn't mean much. It's just too damn freakin' hot outside (the perils of living in SoCal) to do much of anything else. Sitting in the house with the A/C on is much more preferable.

Maybe it's the just weather, and the fact I hate this time of year, but blogging is difficult. Trying to constantly come up with something interesting [even not interesting sometimes] or informative to write about can be pretty stressful, and I hate writing about all the unpleasant things I could write about. So instead I'd prefer to just not write anything, and let everyone guess what may or may not be going on.

Besides, I've been doing this for almost 4 years now, which if you perused other similar blogs [which I have], you will notice is well beyond the norm.

But still I go on. I only wish I knew why. :)

Well, I was getting worried about you. I did notice. If you didn't write something in the next few days I was going to email you to see what's going on.

Some of us are interested in what you say, even if some of it is over the top.

I always check it out, your views on politics and life are always interesting. Plus I like it when you talk about cycling, which I also noticied you have been absent of latley or we have been going different directions?
When am I going to get some more Obama-Bucks?
My grandkids are starting to put away their allowance to help him pay for it...............

Yeah I'll bet you were Alan. :)

And Gerry it's you that has been absent. Did you forget your motorcycle adventure last weekend. And where were you yesterday? We missed you! Still I haven't been that interested in riding lately (been going to the gym more), especially riding hard. We'll see how today goes.

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

Tacitly condoning racism?

I learned something very discouraging in my current events class yesterday, there are a lot more racists and bigots out there then you may think. They may not admit it, or they'll claim otherwise, but when someone says they place the blame for what happened in Charlottesville on both sides, or better yet, they don't know where the blame lays, then they are condoning the action of the white supremacists groups, and in my book that is a racist/bigot. The truth is, there should be no doubt where blame for Charlottesville lays. It lays with the white supremacists, neo-Nazi's, KKK, etc, plain and simple! The hatred, bigotry, and misogyny displayed and espoused by these groups, coupled with the tacit approval of President Trump needs to be confronted at all cost, and history tells us so. If only the Jews, in pre-WWII Germany, had confronted the Nazi's in the same manner, Hitler might never have risen to power, and we would not be looking at the prospect of a  third anti...
