Just another day in Houston. This routine is becoming a habit - one that I would like to break. 8:30 am another attack by the laser guns upon the mid-section of my body. I look for holes in my body each day as I shower. So far no signs of any surface damage. I still can't understand how they can penetrate my skin and everything that lies beneath it without creating some type of hole or leaving some kind of scar. And, how does that laser thing know what to do once it's inside the body? How does it know which one of those things in there is supposed to be destroyed? There is some proof that it can slip up and destroy things that were not intended to be destroyed. I think I moved a little one day when I wasn't supposed to and all of a sudden my memory has been destroyed. It is terrible when you have to refer to your spouse as "Mam" or "Hey You" just because you can't remember the name right off the top of your head. I get up to get something from the next room and by the time I get there I can't remember why I came into the room.
Before you say anything, the above has nothing to do with age. It is all a matter of the radiation malfunctioning. In fact I was close friends with this girl who was my next door
neighbor for 20 years . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .I'm sorry - I can't remember what I was going to say about the girl next door.
My son JL has been in the second bedroom at the apartment conducting business on his computer since he got here. He is an internal auditor for a large national firm. I guess to some extent I have been dealing with internal auditors since I got to Houston. They are auditing my internal makeup and are rejecting much of what they find. JL does the same only he is dealing with finances and procedures while my guys are dealing with livers, lungs, pancreases, etc. All he has to do is change some procedures or fire someone when things aren't as they should be. My guys deal with sharp knives!
I never watch TV at home but have little choice down here. I am too tired to do anything else. JL brought some movies down with him and I watched "Employee of the Month" (I think that was the name - I can't remember for sure). It was a funny movie and I enjoyed it. For those of you in New Mexico, the film was supposedly made in New Mexico. And one of the stars, a young and attractive blond girl (I have forgotten her name too) was a high school classmate of my grandson - Christopher, JL's oldest son. JL said when the girl came back to the high school campus in Dallas as a movie star, she asked Christopher if he knew who she was. Christopher looked at her and simply said; "No". He knew very well who she was but refused to give her the satisfaction of thinking he was impressed with her. I don't know what is wrong with this younger generation. If this had happened to me when I was Christopher's age, I would have possibly stretched the truth a bit about a few things, or even told a white lie or two - or maybe even a bold faced lie - to get this gal to go for a ride in my 1948 Ford coupe! I can see, in addition to all the other responsibilities I have, I am going to need to have a session or two with my grandson.
Everything is going great on the medical front - will probably have more news in a day or two. I will finish the radiation this coming Friday and see what surprises they have in store for me at that time.
I will be checking in again within a day or two.

99: This is the second "comment" to your post. Damn thing ate my 1st one somehow. Forgetting stuff, that's not an age thing - - that the old Tackle in you ! !
Had an excuse for not getting back to you earlier for family (kendra etal) Judy, and I were frolicking on the sands of Dauphin Island Alabama shores the last couple of weeks. All's well here, Really do appreciate your writing style. There's a good book (not the Bible) in you somewhere. If your getting home by the end of the month may plan to stop in. Could return Eastward via NM if the prize is right... dh
