I'm done

And it's not just the rain talking. This time I really mean it.

Yesterday was an enlightening time for me. Not only did I resort to writing about absolutely nothing (kind a like the concept behind Seinfeld), but last night, at a birthday party for a friend, I realized there is no hope. The US is doomed, and there is no reversing the course we're on.

People who I thought were relatively intelligent, and people who I would have thought had much more to lose should we continue down this path, have no clue in the world where we're headed. They have been blinded to the truth by their own hatred, and the lack of understanding of the true motivations of those skillfully directing us down this path of destruction.

Of course maybe I'm the idiot. Maybe they're right and I'm wrong. I just don't think so. I've never known my instincts to fail me, and I don't think they're failing me now.

So I'm done. No more politics, no more health care debates and no more pointing out the lunacy of others. It's just going to be bike riding, some wine, a little golf, travel [even work, as long as they want to keep me around], and all the other pleasures I can still enjoy while they last.

I don't plan on taking the site down though, and I may still post the occasional update on my health status, but that's about it.

The plan now is to spend every penny I've managed to accumulate over the past 60+ years enjoying myself, until I bounce my last check.

My only hope is I make it that long.

Marc,

Come on, don't tease us. You have to be more specific. Which people, which path?

Finally we agree on something, we have no say in the current political environment. Your right it's all headed down the tube, thank goodness we both saved in earlier years to maybe stay ahead of the game. Our kids and grandchildren are screwed and they don't even seem to realize it yet!

Were leaving for Italy in April and will continue to ride every day and take naps in the afternoon............Lets only blog about the positive like biking and golf!

Thanks Gerry for answering Alan's question. Now I don't have to.

As far as the who, neither of you know the ones I was specifically referring to in this post.

Oh, and I just got back from the gym!

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...

Bowling: A metaphor on life [sorta]

Over the past 15+ years the game of bowling has changed dramatically. Not only has the equipment changed, making it easier for bowlers of all ages and physical conditions to participate, and score well, but there have even been major advances to how the lanes are prepared for the start of bowling. No longer is it just heavy oil, light oil, long oil, short oil, or no oil, with the latest equipment, the amount of oil can be varied from front to back and side to side, producing a myriad of patterns designed to make the game more interesting, more challenging and as you might surmise, more frustrating. No longer does the "one ball fits all" approach work any more either. In order to navigate all the differing possible lane conditions, you need to have a varied selection of bowling balls. Most pros will tell you the average bowler needs 3 balls, plus a ball for spares, but to be an above average bowler you'll need at least 6 balls, with many possessing more than that. But just...

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...
