I am pulling a fast one on you, as the song choice under the narrative is not from Devo and it is not "Whip It." Not that I don't mind a Devo song once in awhile. I had to share the attached video from the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show, and some of us might not have heard of a song entitled "Whip My Hair" (a contemporary hip hop song by Willow Smith?) Thus, Whip It. Anyway, Jimmy does a great job of an impression of one of my all time favorite rock stars, Neil Young singing the same hip hop song in his own style. There is a surprise guest as well. If you have already seen the video or are one of those who can stay up past 9:00 PM and watch the program- sorry. If not, Jimmy's work on this video is quite good.
I have been without my phone for a couple of weeks and got that fixed today, on my sixth day of targeted radiation. I originally thought I would have 15 days of radiation and discovered yesterday that they will give me 18. The radiation has really worked on the visible part of the lymphoma lesion (tumor) that was on my head just above the right eye. I can't see the other two lymphoma's (C-3 mid neck, or T-10 mid back) but do feel their influence waning as most of the pains are gone. So twelve more days to go and then another re-evaluation.
Yvonne and I are still playing with the idea of traveling to the east coast September 20 for some R & R, to see my bone marrow donor and the ECC. One thing I have learned from this disease is that it is very hard to predict the future. Stay tuned.
Please enjoy the video and have a laugh on me at Neil's expense.

Hi Greg,
Glad that the treatments are working. Thanks for the video; it was really cool! Take care. I'll give you a call soon.
Hi Greg,
Great Video I don't think I realized the depth of Jimmy's talent until he got his own show.
I've been away from your blog awhile and lost track of things. That won't happen again. By the way the guy who took over your division is screwing everything up but you knew that would happen. Of course he thought Boston would sweep the M's. Take care
Okay, so usually I am a very serious Neil Young fan and will not tolerate ridicule of him. But Jimmy sounded just like him! Very cool. I'll be waiting for some Devo.
Glad to hear the big gun radiation is doing its thing. Hope you feel better and stronger. Keep the good spirit going. A trip to the east coast in the fall is a wonderful thing to be doing. And you will.
love and prayers,
Mary D.
I'm glad the radiation is working. That would be great fun traveling to the East Coast!
Love, Cathy
Mary, JF is showing props to NY and is in my mind the best of the ex-SNL folks out there. He delivers lots of funny snippets. Ron, I am sure the new guy knew it wasn't Elvis' birthday yesterday, give him a break! Helen, thanks for checking in. Cathy- check your e mail. :)
Is it time to buy gold?
Continued prayers

Good pic Hank. I need to change myself, maybe something more kind to the eyes.
Should have doen it as soon as I shot it, I do not need to prove to you that I an a conservative redneck :-).
Greg,
So glad to read that you are feeling positive effects from the radiation. Your strength and determination are amazing to say the least. We continue to pray for your complete recovery. The fact that you are still considering the trip east is just awesome. Keep up the good fight.

Mary-Beth, we bought our tickets knowing full well that it was a gamble... I am really psyched to meet as many of the ECC as I can and enjoy at least one good trip after an early retirement. (Many more are planned.)
:)
Glad to hear the radiation is working. Keep up the fight. I go back Wednesday for scans and chemo provided I am over a recent bout with pneumonia and fever. Keep in touch. Trex

WOO HOO!!!
Mary-Beth of the ECC!!

Very happy to know you are seeing good results in the treatments and planning to meet the ECC!! Very excited for you and Yvonne! Thank you for being an inspiration to us! Keep on laughing!!

Thanks for asking Cathy, 29 years Aug 27. Dad, I am home just going to radiation as an outpatient.
Hi Greg,
I was on vacation last week. I am so glad to hear that the radiation is taking care of business! As you have heard the entire East Coast wants to meet you!!!!
Hoping you pack your Red Sox attire for September.
Wishing you & Yvonne a very happy 29th anniversary this weekend.
We will stay positive for Sept 20.
