The Beatles added Billy Preston on Fender Rhodes piano, George thought a new musician might be good for the general karma as the Beatles were doing their share of infighting during the recording and filming of what was supposed to be a movie/album called Get Back. There are many bootleg recordings of the sessions, most show just bits and pieces of a song. It's almost funny watching the bickering Beatles and the similarities to many of our own families or groups of people. Sometimes we fight over small issues, those issues can lead to fueds or more. It's Thanksgiving season! The Get Back project was later scrapped and noted producer Phil Spector was brought in to finish and polish the effort into the Let It Be album. Spector added his trademark wall of sound to the music and the finished Let It Be became the last Beatles album to be released in 1970. Abbey Road was actually recorded after and released before Let It Be as most Beatles fans know. So here we are, if there are amends to be made, or just a phone call to make to say hi- this is a perfect time to do it.
I am continuing to get my mojo back, the blood test today had me almost jumping for joy as I read the results. All three of my main blood factors were in the normal range for the first time in I can't remember. I still have many irregular lymphocytes, and things I don't understand, but I am feeling good enough to greet this new 4:30 darkness with a positive attitude.

For the first time in many years we are having all of our grown kids home for Thanksgiving. My sister Cathy and husband Les are also going to be here. I hope you and yours has someone to share some thanks in a few weeks.

P.S. Happy belated birthday to you...
Continued prayers

Greg, This is great news and especially at this time of year for giving Thanks...and Praise. Sounds like a fantastic Thankgiving you and the family have planned. As you know I continue to have you in my prayer list...which seems to be growing on a weekly basis. My good friend Larry from Ark. is fighting pancreatic cancer and his/our prayers are also being answered. Jackie has a friend Pam and Chris has a friend Sue ...they also are in need of prayer. Greg, we are not alone in our fights with these insidious ailments. Keep up the battle pal and I am charged to know you are getting stronger daily!! ECC Mike Johnston
Thank you all for the inspiration once again! I am so lucky and blessed. Giving thanks and keeping it real is so important!
So glad to hear of the good lab results. Keep up the faith and positive attitude!
See you all soon
Love, Cathyj
Just wanted to say hi! Really glad you had a chance to get down to AZ and enjoy the sunshine and that your blood work is looking good. Hope to meet with you and Yvonne soon for lunch - Seattle or Tacoma, your choice!
Oh hooray!!! This blog put a smile on my face that will last all day, and then some. What wonderful news. I am so happy for you and your family. I'm sure you will have a fabulous Thanksgiving surrounded by your loved ones. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers
~Cheers, Chris (ECC)

So, 5-0 (E),
Do you concur that "Jo-Jo" was actually Paul?
Let's do our coffee thing soon dude!
G Homey - glad to hear you had a diamond day. In the words of our long lost friend John Denver, "Some days are diamond - some days I'm stoned."
Wait... are those the right lyrics!!!?!?

Great news about the lab results, enjoy turkey day with the kids. phil. P.S. our JoJo is moving out this weekend, not to Tuscon (although that is where her boyfriend is from), looks like we will finally be empty nester's.
Great pictures Greg! Rock climbing?? I have a great picture of MB & I climbing ONCE - I was petrified. So happy to hear your labs looked good. Every day is a blessing and what a fantastic way to spend Thanksgiving surrounded by your family. Enjoy - we will toast you and your family to continued good health and happiness! Kevin, Edie & Family
A lot of questions...
TTB- I hate to disappoint, but the most accurate information I can gather shows that Jojo was a groupie who resided in Tucson and later married Denny Laine, a band mate of Sir Paul in Wings. Linda and Paul did have a ranch in Tucson, and Heather (Linda's daughter) was born there.
Cambo- John D did pen "some days are diamonds" (some days are stones!)
Edie, I used an old Hollywood trick honed from watching way too much T.V. My climbing skills only take me up a few steps. But there is always tomorrow! I can swim without tricks as long as I put liquid bandage on or quit ripping the skin open like I did today. :)
Greg-
Yay!! That is wonderful new! From the look on your face, it does look like you are feeling good. So good to hear everyone will be home for Thanksgiving. Sounds like a full house and a fun time. Wish we could be there.
Keep up the good vibes and we'll keep sending them.
love and prayers,
Mary D.
Greg, We hope you guys have a great time for the holiday. Sorry we cannot make the trip. Alice and I have medical tests and doctor visitsnext week . My test will be my colonostopy and Alice just had a stress test and goes in to see the results. Enjoy your family, and also Les and Cathy. Love you and miss everybody. Dad and Alice
