Donovan...you medical guys should have warned me!

I feel like I have been slowly cooked and they are turning up the microwave settings.....the burns are miserable and I am not quite half way through.....

Thank God there is football this weekend....

That was what my dad hated the worst. The burns were terrible.

I know....but you are in good hands. I'm rooting for FSU....so you will feel better. Except I know, it hurts when you smile. Thinking of you.

I've never met you, and wouldn't know you from Adam if I did. But know that I'm praying for you.

You will find me, at 3:30 Saturday afternoon, at Coach's. A quaint little sports bar in a century old storefront in downtown Murphy NC...The county has a population of 1600.

I will have to get a TV hooked up to the satellites once I get there.

Good Luck and have a great time. It is really good to hear you are done with the treatments. I hope you get a good result from your treatment.

Take care, Mr. Billybud. After you ordeal, rest is the best thing to do. Your team is looking good, the tests are yet to come, but at least yours in the hunt. Tough to be kicked out at the shoot.

Back from NC for a few days...Dr's appointment Tuesday, then back to the cabin. I will be splitting time between Florida and the ridge.....

I feel great now that the burns have healed...I expect that the cancer cells have been wiped out and I am good to go once again.

If you are ever in Murphy, NC on a fall Saturday afternoon...have a glass at the bar in Coach's ....I had a blast watching five games while keeping my eyes on the FSU-Maryland game (can you call that a game?).

Good job. It's great you are feeling better. I get the cure being seeming worse than the problem. Your team is doing well.
