I'm with you JordyG. UcMiami is one of the voices I look for when reviewing the new posts. We hope all is well.
Been a while Mil. This is something that's been on my mind for weeks. I'm starting to worry.
My biggest smile of the day!Hi All!
It has been a very 'interesting' and complex off-season for me which has included numerous trips to the Dana Farber in Boston and two operations. The good news is everything went really really really well. While the baseball size lump they removed was technically classified as a cancer, it was also technically classified as non-malignant, something that prior to this summer I and my two doctor friends would all have termed an oxymoron! It was also primarily located in my fatty tissue in a area far from major blood vessels, nerves, bone, or organs so the operations were very simple and the recovery was very easy and almost pain free. I sort of think of it as a more complicated liposuction!
All of that being said, the journey traveled from first poke, to final removal and identification was not exactly smooth and promotes some fairly heavy mental and emotional lifting. And some serious escapist behaviors!
So ... I have been self medicating with very interesting wines while plunging headlong into a kindle binge of trashy novel reading (which followed marathon sessions on netflix, acorn, and britbox.)
I have maintained my browsing habits which include daily stops at the boneyard (the Collier defection was a down day!) but have not been quite as obsessive and have found that, while the posters here on the BY remain some of the brightest and most articulate brains ever gather into one area since time immemorial, my own mind was somewhat otherwise engaged and I had little to say on the topics under review. Hopefully once the games begin again I will cast off my cocoon and emerge as witty as ever!
I appreciate the kind words and posts above.
FYI - the Dana Farber and all the employees I interacted with there are truly impressive. An amazing organization!
Trashy novels on Kindle?
Hmm. The intent was to depict "trashy" novels, not my pants.
Glad to hear you are doing ok now. Sounds a bit of a rough summer. At least now you are all set for the season. Hopefully you will find something here interesting enough and can get back to your real job, posting on the BY.Hi All!

And the rest of WCBB becomes the plot of a trashy novel.Great news, UCMiami!
You’re in the right place for serious escapist behavior. What the Huskies will do this season is unreal. When they add Williams, Nelson-Ododa, Macbegor, Amihere, Boston, and Brunelle to the roster, it will be beyond your wildest dreams.
When my beloved bride worked at Johns Hopkins she said "you do not want to be an interesting patient in a world class hospital." Yes, the care is fantastic, but the reason you are there is often because you have something really nasty going on.
Wishing you all the best!Hi All!
