As a workout fanatic it’s been hard to take it easy and not do what I was used to prior to my surgeries. I’ve avoided upper body work for awhile now. I’ve been feeling good and healing well so I decided to introduce weights back into my routine. Kettlebells are one of my favorite workouts….
The Room Where it Happens
I’m back where I’m at every Monday morning every three weeks since June. Immunotherapy time. Back to the chair and the “room where it happens.” It’s been awhile since I’ve watched Hamilton but for whatever reason one of my favorite songs from the musical popped into my head as I say waiting for the oncologist…
A View from the Stands

Sale Pending?
With my new job which I am still struggling mightily to accept, I feel like I bought a house that a realtor is convincing me is the right one for me. There’s something lacking with the house or the realtor knows there’s probably better fits on the market but they are determined to make this…
A Win is a Win
The Eagles have not looked as sharp as earlier in the season but they are still winning games. Unlike hockey and soccer, a win is a win no matter what the score is. There aren’t extra points for beating a team by three touchdowns versus one. Here’s one of my weird sport analogies again. It’s…
