Happy New Years Rob.
congrad on almost completing the treatment !
so how ya been feeling, now that you have been
slayin' the old Dragon ? I'm sure pretty good !!
Well, I go in to see the doc today, and hopefully
will start the treatment today - Shot #1 !!!
Hang on need to fill another bowl !!!
Toke.. Toke !!!
So how was it during the Tx treatment ??
Did you have alot of the side-effects of the Tx ?
I have been reading so much on the side-effects,
because some of the stuff i have picking up about
them; do scare me!!!
Oh well, I will just have to toke more !!!!!!
Take Care~
By the way, you have some nice lookin' kids !!
Bruce
Good Morning Rob-
We're so glad you're doing well!! You've been a mentor and phriend to me thru all of this.
Think about it... After this week, you'll be counting them down on one hand! You'll be going into springtime feeling the juice leaving your body for good.
Bruce the seat is ready
Everyones sides are different.This is DOABLE.
You know the drill plenty of water ,healty food,lite exercise.When I tried to be superman and do to many tasks little by little I broke down. The meds are powerful so is the dragon and they rage battle in your body mind and sprirt.Keep your support groups close.The zone is grate.Notice that people who finish TX are all getting better.I try not to get scarred of TX and project gloom and doom.The same as when I swim in the ocean. I watch out for myself(not scarred) but aware of what I can do or not do.
Walt your the man with the plan and say hello to Kim
Peace Rob
Thanks again Rob !!!

JR

Pix JR,Rob and Major Domo ,by the way gang this is me a few hours after a shot,so this is DOABLE! 
Happy New Year Phine Phamily.
Homeward Thru The Haze
First rain of winter, first fall from grace, first hollow echo in the halls of praise.
How could Samson, blind as a bat, have gone and torn down the temples like that?
How could little Caesar know where of he spoke when all of his wheels are turning into a joke?
Blind are leading the blind and I am amazed how they stumble homeward thru the haze.
Soul of a rag picker, mind of a slug keeps sweeping problems under my rug.
All of my fine, fair weather friends will have no more time to make their amends.
Blind are leading the blind and I am amazed how they stumble homeward thru the haze.
Blind are leading the blind and I am amazed how they stumble homeward thru the haze.
Happy New Year Rob and to all...
May each of you find Peace, Happiness, Freedom, Joy, Health and Wellbeing today and in the comming year.
Peace All,
Hoff
Hey Dave, How are your burned hands doing?? ok I trust...be well my friend.

Happy New Years and New Beginnings to All....
Been feeling greatful and Happy, even shoveled
snow all afternoon yesterday non-stop, an Alaskan
thang. Got my still non-stop but healthy buffed
out body back, good outlooks, good serenity and
spiritualism, and happy to be over the very doable
but rough Tx.,and with a new lease on life. After
NYE with David Grisman Quintet, Probably snowshoe
out to my River Propety to cut tipi poles, maybe
bag a moose and enjoy the winter wonderland one
last winter. Hoping and praying that this new year
brings an easy bus ride for those starting Tx.,
SYR's for those finishing,and others like me, a new lease on life. May the Great Spirit bless all
this Phabulous Phamily. SEA YA ALL LATTER, Budley
Great positive words again from our mentors. We hope you all have a phine New Years. Here is to being free and clear of the Dragon. You will now join the ranks of Generals. You will be our leaders who have led the way.
And a Toast to all to hopefully slay this Dragon
permanently so we may live as They intended in harmony with the Universe.
A couple more weeks and I join the rank and file of the Pin Cushion Brigade. I have opted for bing the Cook. Since our Army is not led by the Bush Admiinstration I have no fear of the Mess Tent only the mess.
I wish you and all your families a long life together..and no side affects. Life has enough side affects.
Thank you all for your support and the Music fills my Heart. Love to all!
What Michelle said........... all of it again!!!!
Well put Michelle.
By the way Michelle I think you and I are on the same sched......for joining the brigade and being comardes in arms.
Yours In solidarity

Good lookin family, Rob, I know you must be proud.
"So you can get on with your' search, baby,
And I can get on with mine,
maybe, someday we will find,
That it wasn't really wasted time"
PEACE, Mark
Ahhh, New Years Eve Mule

And at the House Of Blues in Nawlins:

Celidh we are pretty close to starting here together and here is to all in 2005 to beating the Dragon. By the way last night on Jeopardy
an answer was the Dragon Slayer....Of course I knew it and buzzed in quciker but alas I did not win! However, we will all win!
The worst is waiting for the Big Moment!
Happy New Year! I will toast to you all with my sparkling cider while watching the Grateful Dead Movie(Christmas Present) It has been a great Holiday Season with so many great gifts!!!
It gives me such faith to know there is really so many great people in the World. All is not Lost!
Thank you all for your support...
Hey Michelle
I think my start date is the 7th (Fri) at least that is what I believe right now.Here in Canada we have a medical system that is shiny and bright on the outside but fraught with pit holes on the inside. You know what they say about getting what you pay for.....The only thing is we ARE paying for it and our govt. here in BC just keeps bastardizing it. Well that felt good to vent that one out!
Yes waiting for the Big Moment is a drain ....I think maybe Bruce has had more than his share of that experience!!
Anyways I feel the count down has begun, not only too a New Year but a New Healthy Life. I keep telling that dragon, that it's not her biological clock tickin', that's the sound of her ass kickin' beginin'!
I will toast to all of you tomorrow night with wishes for a Happiest of New Years to all, and to all SVR!!!
Peace and Love
Ceilidh

Thanks Rob for the warmth of your photos, and Kevin and Ceilidh too for the good-spirited artwork. Thanks to all who have helped me make it to here, through this year.

Hoping you all have a most enjoyable weekend, and hoping 2005 is very good to you, Peace and Love, Fran
