Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"Please Please Me"

Up first- A great big Thank You to Team I Got A Fever! Fund raising is going great led by Phil as an individual. The team has almost tripled our goal. We are still accepting new team members: http://www.llswa.org/site/TR/Events/BigClimb?team_id=25870&pg=team&fr_id=1110 to join.   For those not familiar with instrumental music, Link Wray was a pioneering guitarist from the late 1950's into the 1960's who influenced a new guitar sound using distortion and effects. His breakthrough was a song aptly named "Rumble." His version of Please Please Me sounds much different than the original- it is worth a listen.
I hope everyone survived all of the men not wearing pants commercials, and the other silliness that is Superbowl Sunday. I had to deal with a work mini retreat all day Friday which probably influenced me hitting the sack early Friday night. I woke up Saturday with shrinking white blood cell and platelets counts- Sunday was worse so I had to arrange for a platelet transfusion.  The transfusion was scheduled for about the same time as the Superbowl :)  Enumclaw Hospital came through and I was able to finish in time to watch the Superbowl from home. I rooted for the underdog Saints, and it all worked out. I am feeling much better today, will be back at work and am looking forward to a good week coming out of the chemo fog. Hang in there Colts fans- the sun will shine eventually.
