Hey All! I found a great video/audio showcasing a lesser known song recorded live during their last tour. And Your Bird Can Sing was one of those songs that might have had some meaning other than being a good fast rock and roller. The prevailing opinion was that John was alluding to the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and his then girlfriend Marianne Faithful, who happened to be a singer. "Bird" was a woman in 60's England. Nevertheless, the song was included on the Revolver album in the U.K. and was featured on Yesterday and Today in the U.S.
I am still recovering from probably my last Nelarabine chemo infusion. We checked into next steps about a month ago, the best option we could find was a mini bone marrow transplant if I could get to remission and find a new donor. We scored on both fronts- and are now scheduled to start the process with a new donor March 16. If everything goes well I would have the actual transplant the first week of April. I will explain more about the benefits of the mini transplant as I get closer to a for sure thing. For now I have some hoops to jump through and the 100% donor also has some to-do's.
Our Big Climb team is final as the event closed for new registrants very recently. Please consider supporting anyone on our team, click here to go to the fund raising page: http://www.llswa.org/site/TR/Events/BigClimb?team_id=34370&pg=team&fr_id=1160

Praying that the transplant will be a success
Love, Cathy
The Lord is and will continue to look after you, you stand and will stand as an inspiration to others.
And I can still bring my friend by to love you :)
How wonderful to have options, Greg. I remember reading about mini-transplants when Steve was first diagnosed. Great to hear you have a(nother) donor, WOW! Hope you sail through, I now you've got the spirit.
Keep praying for you and your family! :-)
An acquaintance of mine is a Paramedic MSO with the City of Everett, and will be making the climb with the Firefighters this weekend. Every year he carries something for friends who couldn't make the climb because of illness, and this year that includes a wedding ring, a photograph, and a fishing lure. Like you, he inspires me to do something beyond what I have done before, or that I thought I could. Keep living strong for all of us.
Greggers! Keep on keepin' on! So many of us are praying for you/sending good enegy that I am sure you will succeed... Hugs to you and Yvonne and family... KKW
Thanks for the kind comments everyone! Just finished an intense bike workout that should help me for our climb in a couple of weeks. Yvonne turns 50 next week, we are off to do some house stuff today- I owe much more than that to her.
Greg,
Glad to hear you have a positive direction to move in and that it is working out. That is excellent news. We pray all goes well and this transplant works like a charm. It is cold and snowing here again. Winter just doesn't want to go away.
Love and prayers to you all.

Mary, I forgot to thank you for the nice Valentines gift! We finally turned the corner on weather back to our almost normal dreary pre-spring 50ish. Hopefully a road trip is in the offing soon...

G Dog Homie Fresh. Good to see you Sunday. You look maavellous. Checked out your Big Climb site. Looks like Ambo has been out there doing some good selling. Way to go Ambo! I will drop by the KCCH on Friday and give Alice a donation. Take care.
Beatles trivia. Did you know that a local Seattle radio station was the first U.S. radio station to play a Beatle's song on the radio? Your assignment - what station, what date and what song? Bonus - who was the D.J.
