September 3rd. Thursday

Just a quick update. I will be starting my radiation on Tuesday next week. the crazy thing is I had to start on Tues. for my chemo because it was Memorial Day week. How well did that crew my summer. I don't think I will forget this summer for a long time. At least I hope to hell it will be a long long time. I asked to have the treatments at 7:45 if possible, they have me down for 4pm. It's close but no cigar. They say they will try to do better, but no guarantees. You put down your money "or life" and take your chances.

Unfortunately yesterday I had to go to a funeral for Larry's father-in-law, George. He had been fighting cancer for a few years and finally lost the battle. He was a great guy and he and I felt much the same about the world. If you ain't a Conservative Republican you have not lived much of a life. If you don't watch Fox News you don't know sh++ about the real world. And if Ohio State is playing you got to be rooting. Even if your daughters went to michigan and indiana. They are great schools, and deserve to be capitalized when you talk about academics, but not so much for football.

I'm looking forward to this weekend when the Pud and Nan clan get together. We are also including Jesse, if he doesn't fu++ with uncle Don's computer, and maybe even his girlfriend. Jan Bowler is also coming from Colorado to see all of us. And David and I are having a rib cook off, or as Hope Strong once wrote in the Lima News Cock Out.

Cate and Myles look good for the Condo. Cate actually met one of the guys who used to live in her new condo. His brother is the other person, but he died of an overdose of his medicine in the unit last October. He had some disorder and took too many pills at one time I guess. The guy did say she is getting a very good deal on the condo. It's much less than they paid for it two or more years ago. Cate is also knocking them dead in sales. She had a quota of $20,000.00 her first full month on the job and sold $37,000.00. So far this month she is at $13,00.00 and had a $16,000.00 order ready to have the check picked up. They do demo's and if the people like the machine, they just let it stay where it is. She just has to be a chip of the old block. Thank God one of my kids decided to take a chance to make some big big bucks. She is the youngest, but watch out for her. She love the fact that she has some say as to how much she can make.

That's enough for now, talk to you later.
