1. The folks looking at our house (having already sold theirs which is a rarity) bought another one..but it looks like we were "second best".
2. The weather today is so beautiful...a wonderful Central Oregon day......
3. The Defeat Cancer program is publishing my "BLOG and Cancer" article..along with excerpts from your wonderful and insightful comments....what an addition they were!
4. Six days in Alaska..a break from the neighbor's dog......the sheriff's deputy has been involved the last two incidents.....almost 30 minutes of non stop barking the other night....the neighbor's defense: "we didn't know they were home (ie. "us")".
5. Linda is doing well this am..looking forward to a new adventure today......
6. Friend Roger is back in ICU....clots and mysterious fluid in his body....no wonder he was "cranky" the other day....
7. I just finished the book "Columbine".....great insights into "psychopathic behavior".....there doesn't need to be some "event" that triggers these incredible acts and events....even though the media wanted to portray it as such.
8. We will all miss Teddy Kennedy...."politics" as opposed to "what's good for our country" is ruling right now...the insurance companies "rule" as well as politicians who have the desire to "bring down a President". I am getting ready to fight....my "Eugene McCarthy" energies are starting to boil to the surface.
9. Finally (in part from an email recently from a friend):
Remember to just keep going, and keep your head above water..
And you'll get by with a little help from your friends!

Love those pictures, Dave. Just adorable!
Please tell Linda to stop with the odd and unusual medical issues. I told her already, but apparently she didn't listen. I must have been speaking to the deaf ear! ;-)
Have a wonderful time in Alaska! We want photos, of course!
Love to you both, as always.
Oh, blast, and other less lovely words that begin with "b." So close on this one but still not quite there. I don't know if it helps to be second best on this sale or not but at least you can see some movement. Something there has been precious little of up til now.
Hope you are enjoying glorious days in Alaska. I've never been but it's "on my list!"
Have a wonderful trip. Alaska this time of year is probably beautiful so get some pictures up on here so we can share.
Linda, behave yourself. Dave needs less excitement in his life...

It took three times of being "second best" for my brother to sell his place. Hoping you are first at the finish line next time.
It's our turn to visit Nebraska this week. We will attend the Nebraska Cornhuskers game as VIP's. (My nephew does the filming for the team.) They have lost all the other games we have attended. I am surprised they invite us back!!!
Wishing you a great time as you escape up north. Say "hello" to Alaska for us. It has felt like Alaska here the last few days...lows in the forties.

Sounds like a good plan to get away for a while, especially with the "dog issue."
We had a similar problem, made a tape of the barking and went to "doggie court" thru Animal Control.
The husband had no idea what had been going on and Animal Control told them to either debark the dog or get rid of it. They chose the latter.
This approach might be worth a shot.
Safe travels and look forward to lots of pix.

Lovin' the pics. Good reminders -- kinda like: when you're going through hell, keep going. Don't stop to admire the sights.
Sorry about the teeth issue. Geebus!!!!
Keep it all shiny side up, you two. Enjoy Alaska. Breathe deep. Relax the shoulders. Focus on the good stuff. And know that (yep, here it comes...) I've got you wrapped in the golden glow of healing love and energy.
