Lex Luthor Rides Again!



Well, I always wanted to be an arch-fiend, now Ellen says I look like Lex Luthor so I guess this is my big chance. I think a life of crime would be a lot more interesting than a career in the printing business. As long as Superman is not around to hamper me, world domination can't be to difficult. If a dummy like W can do so so mach damage, imagine what I can do!!!

Anyway, the hair seems to be growing back, so maybe I won't have to put up with this look too much longer. There is a gentler, kindlier me, here is what I look like when I am not criminally inclined. This blog program is terrible as far as layout goes, just throw in your pictures and see what happens.

I survived the third round of chemo without too much trouble, we're headed off to the Poconos this weekend for some relaxation. Ellen is done with school for the summer today, that's a big relief. I still feel well and have plenty of energy. Have not been fishing for a few days so I'm suffering a little withdrawal, but I'll get over that. By going fishing!

Regards to all, don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.

Whats new?

Today I'm at Fox Chase for the third round of chemotherapy. It's just about over, I'm on the last IV drip now. It's gone very smoothly, I actually slept through most of it. Must have been the Benadryl they gave me to start. Ellen is here grading her finals and making sure I drink plenty of liquid, whether I want it or not.

I still have not seen much in the way of side effects. One thing - I'm now bald as an egg- very chic. My hair was falling out and I got tired of vacuuming it off the pillow every morning. It was getting pretty spotty, so we just shaved it all off. Once I lose my tan line I'll include a picture.

Zach was in to visit for Memorial Day, we all went up to the Poconos and had a good time. We'll be heading up again next weekend - the fridge died and the new one is coming on Saturday. Hve to get in shape for bicycling, we're off to Pittsburgh for the July 4th weekend to visit Ellen's brother and will be riding 20 or 30 miles (on flat roads, I hope!).

Our garden, under the auspices of Ben, has been growing well. I'm supposed to stay away from dirt, so Ben has been delegated to take care of that and do the mowing as well. He just left for Colorado to visit his friend Rob Taylor. Ben got a full time job teaching at the school where he did his student teaching, so he's excited about that.


So, not too exciting an entry this time. I guess no excitement is good. After the next session 'll get a CT scan to see what progress there has been. Keep your fingers crossed.
