Sindi, I wasn't aware that you were going through Chemo. I'm glad to
hear that everything is progressing well!

Re the barium sulfate - they made me drink a little bit just before the scan
so it must be providing contrast in the background because it is in the
stomach and the spleen is just in front of the stomach (when you lie on your
back). CT and CAT are the same test by different names. The chemo is
half-way through six sessions with number four Monday and they generally check
after number three to make sure it is working.
I don't recall if I drank barium sulfate for the CT scan of upper body only.
I think not.
Today we got a really good deal on a very large bag of onions at the market
and said hello to a few of the farmers there and got hugs and some free
apples. The farmers looked even colder than I felt in the wind.

Thanks to all. Today a grexer gave Jim a 233MHz pentium with a modem/sound
card in it that he cannot identify. It is probably a winmodem but Win95 is
messed up and says it is not there. Broken software is such fun, or maybe
the hardware is also broken. There are two copies of the modem software in
there. I was hoping we would get the grapes juiced instead.

Jim is happy because Windows finally detected a winmodem on Com 5. What is
Com 5? If he can get Win95 working (and a bunch of games deleted) he can
install Win98 on top of it with his upgrade CD and try to run his slide
scanner with software downloaded at 56K instead of 33K.

The actual CT scan report (which my doctor friend emailed me) says there are
no longer ANY enlarged lymph nodes and the formerly huge masses in the spleen
are now much smaller. I wonder if they will eventually disappear. But I
still have fluid around one lung which may be turning solid and should ask
the cancer doctor to look into that. Which is not so good but hardly life
threatening as my other lung is fine. They took out over 3 liters of fluid
from the left lung in August and figured the rest would go away.
I am feeling much better than a week ago and only woke once during the night.
At first I could not sleep more than 40 minutes at a time and more recently
would wake every 2 hours. I have not napped for three days now. I get four
more days of being normal before Monday (fourth chemotherapy session of a
total of probably six).
Thanks for all the good wishes, which seem to be working.

Got one of the old fly-rail locks from the Michigan - they did some backstage
renovations this summer.

I won a bid for a book (Squanto and the Pilgrims; Red Ball series
aka "The American Adventures Series") for $3 on eBay. I would have
bought this book any time I saw it in the last 20 years and paid a lot
more than $3. It was a favorite book of mine when I was in 2nd
grade. I never expected to see it anywhere.

Looks like Dude and I are back together.
Weekend approaches, and it'll be fun... seeing Macbeth on Friday night
with an old friend who hates people and loves cats as much as I do, and
probably Kill Bill on Saturday night with Dude.

Calling him "Dude" reminds me of "The Big Lebowski".

IHB this item made me think about a great film....
"Where's the money Lebowski?"
"I dunno, let me take another look..." (as his head is dunked back into the

I found a nice, though worn, leather desk chair being discarded by
someone who moved out.
I thoroughly cleaned most of my apartment. This is a real
accomplishment.
I made dinner for my parents. It's the first time I've ever cooked
for guests.

The extra hour of sleep from the Daylight Savings change was much appreciated.

We have a kitchen floor full of Chinese treats - jujubes, dried tofu, fresh
tofu, two water chestnuts, green mung been noodles, tapioca noodles, blue and
brown preserved duck eggs. And a car full of picked apples. And a plastic
dishpan full of sorted grapes ready to juice. And I have regained 14 pounds
in two months with only 5-10 to go (depending if I want to weigh more than
I used to).

IHB Groklaw's coverage of the SCO v. IBM suit is so *funny*.
