Today’s Thoughts
Another nice fall day. Much better, doing
stairs without a cane being used.
My urologist was pleased with
my PSA numbers. I will continue a shot every three months for a while, just to
be sure the numbers stay down. Good news.
Ken Burn’s “American Buffalo”
is exceptional. If you get a chance, it’s on PBS. Well worth a watch.
Between the seeming endless votes
in the House, and the on-going war in Gaza, the news is getting difficult to
watch. Pick a damn speaker and have a cease-fire sounds so easy.
Protest grow around embassies around Pro-Palestinian countries. Frightening.
