After putting up with the titty-pink NFL accessories last season, all I can say is, It's about time....

My last PSA test came back A-OK. I don't mind the bloodwork - it beats a greasy gloved finger up the @$$*&+%!

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

You know, I’m getting older, and I may go in for one of those new “digital” examinations. I didn’t want to get this done when they were just using a finger...

LOL! I used to hang out at the Russian River Brew Pub in Santa Rosa (before I moved) and every October they would auction off designer (designed by local residents) bras for “breast cancer awareness month”. All the regulars (being mostly guys, of course) wondered when they would have “prostate cancer awareness month” and auction off designer jock straps.

Fortunately for all concerned, that never happened.

Of course my (now) 15 year old daughter would roll her eyes whenever October rolled around and I would trot out my tired Dad line: “But EVERY month is breast awareness month.”

Her: (eye roll) Dad!

Ah, mammeries..

My oldest brother is fighting a battle with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He only skipped one yearly physical and PSA blood test and it was extremely aggressive. Please get your tests yearly. Not only that, but don't listen to a doctor that says it is in the normal range if it has risen from the year before.

Another brother discovered his prostate cancer after our oldest brother was diagnosed. The doctor said don't worry, it's in the normal range. He was frightened by the other brother's diagnosis. Went to another doctor and had a biopsy- prostate was full of cancer, but luckily had not spread. If he had stayed with the first doctor's diagnosis, I could be having 2 brothers fighting a life and death battle.

My goal each year is to keep both feet flat on the ground. This year I realized the toes on my right foot were going up. He beat me this time, but there’s next year.

I told him one time he’d need to re-do the exam - he got my thyroid.

Please, no stupid crossed ribbons. We're guys. Guys don't wear "ribbons".

"Hey, why aren't you wearing a ribbon? Hey, Sedrick, this guy's not wearing a ribbon!"
SEDRICK" "Who! Who's not wearing the ribbon?!?!?!"

Things guys have said after the test:

“Now I know what it feels like to be a muppet.”

“Would you please tell my wife you did not find my brain up there?”
