Voices from the Stall

"You use that thing for everything except wiping you butt"  my wife's remark to me about my use of a Palm PDA a few years ago. The combination of my recent medical treatment and getting older has resulted in quite a few more trips to the can.  With my travel this means using a great number of public restrooms.  The number of guys using cellphones in restrooms is amazing. Talking all the time, texting standing at urinals and who knows what behind the doors of the stalls.  Most of us at least wash our hands before leaving, but what about all of those smart phones.  Next time your battery is dead and someone offers you their phone, think about where that phone has been.

The most unique movie you will see all year.  After lapsing into coma for days and waking up with brain damage, Mark Hogancamp creates an amazing fantasy world.  See this documentary if you can.  Think it will be on PBS soon if you can't see at the theater.  And, check out the link by clicking above. http://www.marwencol.com/about/

1.4

Radiation treatment seems to have worked for my bout with Prostate Cancer. PSA continues to fall.  Level is down to 1.4 almost a year past the original diagnosis.  The only lingering symptoms are pretty much the symptoms the typical man of my age experiences.  Want to remind all my middle aged and older male friends to get screened.  And a reminder for my female friends to remind (nag if necessary) the men in their lives to get screened.  If caught early, this is very treatable.
