Started this AM with a hop out of bed, skip to the java pot & a jump in the car down to UT Southwestern Medical Center to see my lung oncologist. After poking, prodding and a pop quiz, it appears that my lung cancer continues to snooze. God is good. Next appointment with this doctor is 9/11 of all things. (I bet you're wondering if I picked that date; no way!)

Then, this afternoon, Bogie and I squeaked in a 2 mile walk just before the downpour. Bogie can hardly sit still while I put my sneakers on these days. And, with a few dozen miles behind him, he is finally getting his figure back. ("You know who" indulges him with "you know what" too often if you ask me!)

I forgot to mention that I have found a group of women in my neighborhood who have formed a team to walk in the 3 day. Their team name is "The Mama Titas". They sound like a fun bunch of ladies and I look forward to training with them. They are thinking about concocting a drink called a Mama Tita as part of a fundraiser. Anyone have any good ideas for a recipe to make one?
