Scots Wha Hae!!
How is Sadie's ear? Is it responding to the treatment?
'mornin Jim... and everyone... thank you, each one, for your kind wishes and prayers!
Jim, your comment about William Wallace was appropriate for me at this time. I watched Braveheart last night, again. The watching of that was brought about by my reading of "Born Fighting" by James Webb. That was brought about by Miss Marple's recommendations. I'm one of those "scot-irish" whose roots are in County Antrim, North Ireland and the Glasgow/Saltcoats area of Scotland.
In my view, a great percentage of the people of this country have forgotten, or never understood, the true meaning of "FREEDOM". I also have recently finished "John Adams" and "1776", both of which are excellent.
Being on that kick I have also re-watched "Patriot" and "Cold Mountain".
Couple of items:
Jim... I know mware got you an autographed copy of "Unfit for Command". One of the main characters is Joe Ponder. Joe goes to the church I attend and is going through a difficult time physically just now. He had a knee replaced last week and also had heart bypass surgery. He is in the Gainesville VA hospital. I wanted to get your copy of the book and have Joe autograph it for you but with my own difficulties have not been able to do that. If that interests you, please let me know.
All... update!
I go tomorrow for a "test" run of the radiation treatments. Had a "planning catscan" yesterday (had no idea the process was so complex), got my mid-section all marked up with magic marker that will be replaced with tiny tattoos tomorrow. If all goes well with tomorrow's rehearsal I'll begin eight and a half weeks of radiation starting on Monday. Not looking forward to the 100 mile round trip drive each day but am thankful for the facilities the Lord provides for these things.
