Entry 14-First some updates, A reminder of fun, a tribute to Jon and Lance

First item: My brother's friend Bob is not doing really well. He is at the Mayo Clinic and has pancreatic cancer. Say a few words for him when you have a moment.

Just came back from the trifecta-PT, OT and SLP. A few things have happened. Starting yesterday I started getting these 1-2 second flashes of things I thought about on Sunday or Monday today. They only last about 2 second max. Some are items that I think I wanted to do orremember. Some are minutia items that I really could have forgotten in the first place. The issue is that they have been coming out and flashing in droves. I carry around a mini steno pad to write them down just in case I do need to remember them. When I asked SLOP and PT about it is delayed memory recall of some sort. The fact that it is 3-4 days later is not what is weird about it, it is the minutia part.

Here is the other weird thing today, I now recognize people in hospitals. Now I have not been requested to be a friend on their facebook but today, I saw 5 healthcare people I know from my last stay at Spaulding and Monday I saw 3 from Mass General.


Blog Entry: A reminder of fun: A tribute to Lance and Jon

Jon and Lance are my first cousins and also 2 great buddies. The 2 things I can always count on the Jon and Lance for are great fun and great humor. These are traits that often clash in the family arena but here it is the opposite.

I spoke Lance aka "the L-man" and told him I saw Hot Dog-the movie (1984) on Tuesday and it was funny. To know surprise to me the L-man knew it and commented how funny it was. I am sure my cousin the Jon aka "the J-man" has seen it also. A couple of months ago he was remarking about Linda Blair and her movie Rollerboogie.

I and 16 and 18 years older then the J-man and L-man respectively. I have been to their birthdays, graduations, batchelor parties, wedding and just hung out with them. I remember fondly of bar hopping with the J-man and my cousin Lindsay at the J-man's Indiana University graduation weekend. Of course that evening ended @ 3-4 am with a trip to have a gut wrenching burrito @ la Bamba in Bloomington. This is the same way I remember going with 9 year old L-man to CB Smith park down the water slides. The L-man would wait, mid way down the slide (after he went down), for me to crash into him which I did.

When it's time to just hang out with the L-man and J-man, the cuisine is Wings and Beers. I'll have to take them to Buff's Pub the next time they are here (http://www.phantomgourmet.com/Showpage.aspx?content=ReportCard&id=3198). The L-man reminded me of a nickname I was given by one of the L-man and J-man's friends. I will only show it abbreviated-see if you can figure it out yourself.
