the day after I got back from missoula, I headed north (again) for a couple of days of fly fishing with 14 other male, cancer survivors. It was quite an eye-opener. I'm one of the lucky ones.....some of us are on the way back...others, I'm quite sure, will probably not see the New Year :(

BTW - I suck at fly fishing....a guy standing next to me caught probably 30 in three hours while I caught TWO :x
i'm sure you made up for it by drinking more beer
oh, I could have...but it was alcohol free. there were a lot of mormons there...the old joke is:
Q) why do you always take TWO (or more) mormons fishing?
A) because ONE will drink all your beer

Thanks, Sue May....it was awesome meeting you. if you notice, my pooch is in the bottom right corner. I have NEVER seen a non-dog owner like Sue be soooooo nice to a dog. Gracie was in heaven after a 15 minute head massage from Sue!
this picture was taken late Sunday afternoon....I had tickets for the meet and greet and could have mingled with the boys and gotten pictures.....but Kyle (middle, aka halifax2themax) hadn't gotten into town yet. he has been one of my biggest supporters during this cancer thing and I had to meet him. SO GLAD I DID!!!! He, I and Shawn (Vedder #7) hung out in my room, drinking and bullshitting for several hours before the show. yeah, the meet and greet would have been cool, but meeting these guys was PRICELESS.
P.S. When PJ_ROCKS heard I wasn't going to the meet and greet, he asked if he could kick my ass right there. I said "no."
P.P.S. Jerseys - geeky, yet badass
I was seriously considering missing the show to hang out with Gracie :-o She would have gotten a full body massage by that point That was one of the funnest part of the trip for me (hanging out with you guys, not just Gracie) even if I did arrive rather late. Damn merch addiction!
I am very happy to see some good times for you, Rob. Glad I was able to pop into this thread and read some of the stuff I have missed. Much love, light and hugs for you and your family.

He might suck at fly fishing but he sure as hell as an eye for his beers. He made me give him back his last beer of a certain flavor from a cooler full of beer that I had just grabbed. But oh no, "you can't have that one, its my last one." :nono: Ha, ha, not that it mattered to me though as all the beer in that damn cooler was new to me as was the sage brush, cactus infused, tumble weed filtered, high plains driftin' Dr. McKillicudy's, Yeager like peppermint schnapps like shit we were swilling straight from the bottle and passing around!
And Rob, thanks to you and Codie I had to check my bag as I couldn't take that big old tub of honey and fry dipping sauce in my carry on. I thought of smearing my body with it all and getting dressed and getting on the plane but I thought I might stick to the seat and miss my connection. And the Utah beers were very tasty! Much better than that dog piss porter you so kindly refer to! Thank you, thank you!
On a serious note, hanging out with you was definitely the highlight of my trip. Thanks for blowing off the boys and sharing your beer and whatever that other stuff was as well as allowing me the honor of meeting Codie and Gracie. It honestly felt like I've known you since grade school!
Continue to hang tough and be well and I seriously hope we meet up again. And please, if you come East, let me know and I'll be your Julie McCoy.
Peace.
PS: Shimmy, great to read you again and see that smile!

dude.....it was a GIFT six-pack.....I hadn't even tried ONE and there you are, ready to suck down the LAST one ! as it was, I had to stop in Dillon to bring a six-pack of the same home
P.S. it's good...I can see why you wanted to drink it all

I just have to say it again, it was so good to see you again Rob!
hope to see Graci...uh you and Codie at the Gorge next year!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

The wagon is way overrated! And in my defense, I had no idea I was drinking your gift beer but the stuff was great like Rob says. No harm, no foul. It must be the Utah kindness in you as you should have told me mitts off, you can only drink the Bud Light. What was the name of that beer again? I'll try to track it down in my neck of the woods.
And Dissident, whats the name of your bar in Warwick again? I'll swing by one of these days/nights.

Rob? Did you go to Game 7? Rob? Or are you still drunk? Rob?
Peace.
am am sober. have been since sunday night. WOO-HOO
last week, I had to have my blood checked for CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen). I asked my surgeon if he could give me the layman's explanation....he paused....started to say something....changed his mind and said "no"
last time it was checked, my CEA was elevated and that worried my surgeon. when he didn't get back to me after last week's test, I thought "shit! he doesn't want to give me the bad news and ruin my weekend" :(
that was NOT the case. it has dropped from 2.2 to 1.6. this is good. I'm not gonna croak any time soon.
