Turns out I have brain cancer that moved there from my lungs. Prognosis is poor. I had brain surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, being me, I intend to fight hard to the very end, and beat the odds. I may well be around for harvest season this year. That is my intent. Normal prognosis is in weeks.
I've held off on bringing this up on FR for several reasons. But the time to bring it up is now.
Consider this my opus. It's as close as I'm going to get to giving one.
I really want to thank Jim for giving us a forum. Jim, you do good work. Thanks.

Prayers for strength and good cheer. May your angels bring you peace and comfort and lead you to a place where you can see the distant shore of great things to come.
I consider this not your "opus" , but rather as your "hoc opus, hic labor est".
I , and many other 'lurkers', have enjoyed your wit , wisdom ,culinary , and gardening skills , and especially your willingness to share it with others.
I know you to not be a quitter, and expect many more posts from you in this forum - I have so much more to learn from you .
Ash Wednesday is a reminder for us all of our own mortality , whether we are religious , or not .
I look forward to your future posts,..and stories of naked firemen ,..soil sterilization,..fresh baking secrets,..recipies for squirrel,.. and gardening information.
Bless you Johnny. You are in my prayers every day.

GOD, Please embrace this man with your love and kindness.
If you see fit for his purpose on this earth to continue, I believe that you may determine how to further us all through those lives that you put and maintain within your flock.

Prayers up for you and yours. Keep fighting and never give up! If I may ask, how about using radiation to fight the cancer in the brain?
