Well it was a long hard week but it ended on a fairly positive note with some extra good news out of the blue.

First, Friday November 18th was my 11th "canciversary".  To be quite honest, about 8 years longer than I ever expected or might've reasonably hoped when I was diagnosed with te' brain cancer in 2005.   Clival chordoma patients, particularly 10 or 20 years ago, didn't have a lot of longevity going for them.  3-5 years is normal for diagnosis to death so I've really beaten the odds on that score.

Saturday, my favorite overweight Central American friend drove into town to help me with a couple of moderately high paying jobs that went fair to midland.  One client paid today - much better than usual.

Then Saturday afternoon I heard from a lady at UPMC who wants to run an edited version of my "Never Argue With A Spider - 10th Canciversary" story in the UPMC newsletter that is sent out to patients, doctors, and donors - which is pretty cool.
I had sent that story to my doctors there earlier this year and hadn't heard back so I assumed they either didn't get it, didn't read it, or just didn't enjoy it.   So it was a nice little, out of the blue, pat on the back.

I'm still waiting to hear if / when that same story gets picked up by Hard To Kill Fitness.  I'll post here when I hear back from them.

Also, got booked for 6 days on a major motion picture being filmed here in Atlanta with my buddies Matt Bolick and Chad Joyce.  Probably not supposed to say, but it stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - so maybe it'll be fun.  I'll be a biker again, natch.

Quiet day today.  Just me and "dog" chillin' out.
