Hello everyone, I hope the winding down summer is treating you well. It has been a strange summer for us in the Northwest, going back and forth between 85 degrees and hot to 60 degrees and clouds or rain causing gardeners heartaches and other problems. Since I can't spend a lot of time in the sun right now - it has worked out well for me.
We had to change our e mail address due to being hacked, phished, and having our old e mail address stolen. Part of losing the beatlefool@yahoo.com address meant losing all of my contact information including e mail addresses and phone numbers. I am in the process of contacting e mail addresses I was able to save. If you didn't get a message from me already about our new e mail address you can click on view my complete profile, then contact/email on the blog to send me an email- I'd appreciate it so I can stay in contact.
I met with my old oncologist this past week as we are now proud graduates of the Hutch and have moved on to life after transplant. So far so good, my blood chemistry continues to improve and my curls continue to grow. Sadie is also healing well and has a lot of energy- we have to hold her back more than anything else. We had a a nice visit this week from Nadine and Julie, Yvonne's friends from Oregon, then it was our 28th anniversary Friday. Mikhael came home for a quick visit too. *We might be going to Palm Springs/San Diego to celebrate this week if all goes well at Monday's Dr. Appointment.
Here it is, another Sunday. I haven't talked much if at all about one of my all time favorite musical groups, Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson and the Tull have been around since 1968, producing many hits, concept albums, and a Grammy for best hard rock/metal group/performance (a little controversial in 1989, as groups like Metallica were shunned.) 1971's Aqualung tops my list of their albums. I think the lyrics of "Wind Up" offer the best lines. The attached video begins with an interesting guitar solo by Martin Barre, then gets into the song with Ian playing acoustic guitar and singing. Living Happy, Greg
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

You are both inspirations for the rest of us!!! Have a glorious time wherever you go this week as well as in the future! Hugs to you both too! KKW
Thank you so much for generous donation to the walk to defeat als! I hadn't checked in there for almost a week, and didn't know. I'm looking forward to walking later this month. Les just rolled his eyes, "not another walk."
Love, Cathy
You are welcome. We expect you to win the non-competitive portion of the event!
Love, Greg from 100 degree Palm Springs.
Did you get my email addy
Good you are enjoying the sunshine!
Hi Hank, I am out of town for a bit so I did not see it until just now. Thanks, Greg
We are enjoying it, it is too hot to stay in it for long. We head to San Diego tomorrow where it will be much cooler. Have a good weekend Cathy!
Love, Greg
So glad you are able to get away and take a break in a new place. I suppose the 100 degree heat felt good. We had that a few days last week along with hot, dry winds which contributed to a wild fire behind town. Didn't think there was anything there left to burn. Now it seems fall is here as it's cooled down considerably.
Congrats again on graduating from the Hutch! I guess you won't miss the place! And congrats on your anniversary. Hope you are both having good celebration time in PS.
See you both in a few weeks!
love,
Mary D.
Thanks Mary, "it's a dry heat!" 108 today no wonder we got a good deal on the accommodations. Desert people must go through some costly annual A/C repairs. See you soon. Love, Greg
My younger sister and her family live in Carlsbad, San Diego. The weather is always very pleasant!! Have a fantastic time!! Glad to know you are Living Happy!!! :-)
10-02-2010 is International Live STRONG day, with events planned all over the world to celebrate the successes of the 28 million people living with cancer. Do I sense a large party at the Dymerski house?
Have you been watching Americas got talent?
Congratulations on your graduation and progress! Best wishes coming from SeaTac.

How are you feeling?
Cathy, I am feeling much better- exercise seems to be the reason. Thanks Chris, I appreciate the support. X, Oct is just around the corner, I better get to work planning.
Greg
