Leftovers

As you may know, I'm back in "stir" at the Baylor Med Center in Dallas for ChemoThon 2. I want to tell you a few things about my Latest Adventures in Medicine, but first I wanted to clear out some old stuff. Some gently used information of the past few weeks.

About two weeks after my previous protective custody, I noticed stray hairs on the microphone. I was at work, so it seemed odd. Not that a hairy microphone would not be odd at home, just that I use them more at work. Microphones, that is, not hair. Anyhow, I picked and flicked them and promptly forgot about them. Minutes later, I noticed more stray hairs on the microphone. Using my superior powers of deduction and detection (not to mention "inflection") I came to the conclusion "Something's causing that". I pinched a lock of my own locks between my index finger and thumb and received a clumpful of unattached hair. I repeated the process over and over again to insure the validity of my first test. Then once more just to freak out Brandie Alexander. It was true. I was losing my coiffure (I assume) to Chemo . So, I did the only thing I could think of. I went to Sport Clips and had 'em finish me off. After freaking them out with a couple of tufts I let them harvest, I offered the chance at the easiest haircut they'd do all week. Possibly all month.



I've never taken the chance to listen to the "field" recording we made for the Endless Summer of Chemo Benefit at Revolution downtown Bryan, but I got some pictures:

Maybe I'm just scairt of what we really sounded like, and want to preserve that memory in my mind the way I thought it sounded that night. Big thanks to son Alex Gene for putting it all together and getting me back to play for the first time in years.

The very next week, Kathy Ross headlined another Benefit show along with Leanasaurus Rex at Texas Hall of Fame. Both shows were well-attended and well-donated.

There will be more special occasions my Frambly and co-workers will be organizing in the next few weeks and months. Maybe I'll get another chance to play. I got a small taste of how expensive it is to have liver cancer and a transplant this past week when I was asked for a whole pile of money down and my part of an 80/20 split. Did I mention how grateful I am for your assistance?. I hope I don't wear out my welcome in your generous hearts .

More soon.
