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

Won't Get Fooled Again

It's time for some other than music or cancer stuff from yours truly. I seem to have become a news junkie since being on sick leave. Having some extra time I hope to see what the mood is on some other topics. President Obama's vision for cutting the deficit? Not this time, but you never know. I will start with what has happened to this country in terms of responsibility. Who is best to decide what a child learns, eats, wears? In one Chicago school, the kind people in the know have dictated that approved school lunches are more nutritious than what mom or dad can make at home. So buy a lunch or else!

Since I am posting this tidbit, believe me there is plenty of news about the lunch issue out there, you probably figure I am opposed to some administrator telling parents that a peanut butter sandwich is worse than twigs and berries. I am actually a bit peeved that this is even an issue. Why are we in 2011 still trying to figure out what is nutricious? Please weigh in, and in the meantime... Don't let them fool you again! (Them being the government, news agencies, experts of all kinds...)   Yvonne and I are hoping to hear about my much delayed stem cell transplant today, we are here at the Hutch awaiting the clinic visit in minutes! More later
Enjoy this 9-11 concert for New York footage of The Who and bassist John Entwistle's last performance before his early exit from this life. The three remaining Who original's bring down the house.

Here's hoping for smooth sailing thru the stem cell process. Nice pictures on FB, looks like Andrew's there for a visit. As for the Government, the less they mess with my life, the better!

What a day at the clinic. I will keep my big mouth shut until after today's long term follow up meeting with another new doctor. But... they are still delayed with donors and might have other ideas for me. It gets more confusing every time we see the doctors. Have a great weekend everyone, get out and have some fun if you can.

Uh oh hope it wasn't tooo bad, I will try to have fun this weekend but I don't think it will be on skis. Hope to plant potatoes and onions if the snow melts! We will be curious to find out what you learn today. Hello to the gang. BigA

Just some potential new directions, it might even be for the better, we can't wait until next week and the recommendation. Snow to your south BigA? What a year.

Obama is a Socialists/Communist !
If they have their way no one will have any choice. If you had been in England or Canada Greg, You would have had to come here for medical help,,, OR...........Not much of a choise.
If I offend someone with this I say open your eyes and read unadulterated history.
And these people are trying to rewrite history !
Does this stir the pot enough.

Thanks Hank. By the by, make sure you get your Spring spheres ready to roll or be found next weekend. Yes, the words EASTER EGG are now outlawed in many school districts too.

Got up early to get ready for a clinic visit and then a drive to the tulip festival this afternoon. It is snowing with 1 inch on the ground here in 35 degree Enucmlaw!

Thanks Alice, Hank, Cathy. We had a good time after clinic, I was able to take the folks on a little tour at the Hutch too. :)

I suck as a parent and if I die I'd like to make sure the government takes care of my kid from food to shelter to happiness. I just know that Big Papa will make him happier and healthier than I ever could. Obviously lots of sarcasm here! You can probably guess what my stance is on government intervention in your life. They've earned their reputation! Wow surprisingly I feel better now thank you for the opportunity to share. :)
