I am doing OK. I don't know if you know, but I do have lung cancer; a tumor in my right lung that I will soon be having surgery to remove. I will announce this news once I have a surgery date and that will be in GD.

The medication I'm taking to fight the cancer has some unpleasant side effects, which leave me with less energy and drive than I normally have. And this accounts for my reduced participation here.

Tonight I felt quite good and the moon cooperated! So I was able to get this photo. I'm pretty tired and my bedtime is near. Pretty sure I'll sleep well!
