There's Is Something About Baking Bread

 I can't resist the pun about kneading to bake bread. 

So that is out of the way and we now are moving on.

I have lost my favorite sandwich bread recipe. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to make it from memory. If it doesn't work I'm probably going to need mental health advice. As I often say things like this aren't a matter of life and death, it is slightly more important than that. I loved that bread. I never had a loaf from that recipe that didn't work and it tastes so good.

I had my annual physical yesterday. Outside of mobility issues, I seem to be in rather good health. All of the plumbing works. (Blood circulation, heart, and digestive functions) The electrical is functioning. (Nerve, sight, and hearing) The controller is adequate. (Cognitive.) 

Good news: I don't have to have any more colonoscopies. They will not be checking me for prostate cancer. Apparently, medical science says that if I have it I will die of something else first. That's reassuring. I think?

I have read some snarky remarks about the new episodes of The Crown. I'm not an Anglophile, but I do enjoy this drama built around the British Royal family. I'm blown away by the performance of Gillian Anderson, playing Margaret Thatcher, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Helena Bohnam Carter as Princess Margaret, and Olivia Coleman as QEII. These women move this show along like a premier soccer team with the ball going down the pitch. Forget about the real players in this drama, we'll never know the truth about them until they die.

    Prostate exam: When detecting the problem may arguably be worse the the problem itself.

Ring The Bell

 It appears there is a tradition in the radiology department at Ascension Hospital that patients, upon completing their course of treatment, ring a bell. ( We know not for whom this bell tolls.) Ring the Bell with My Sweetheart Jeanne. Jeanne drove me to all but two of the appointments. Pam Frautchi took me to the other two. Today, after being zapped thirty-two times, I rang the bell. This begins a roughly one-month recovery period where the effects of the radiation abate and, I'm assured, a return to normalcy occurs. In my case, I anticipate more energy and greater awareness. Books, Books, & More Books I am simultaneously celebrating the end of the third year of volunteering for the All Saints Hunger Book Sale. Next week, we will wrap up the preparation for the sale and open our doors on August 3 for the public. I ran into this humourous but quite accurate cartoon on a T-Shirt that shows most of the volunteer's sentiments at this point. If you think the printed and bound p...

It's time again.

It started in 2004 when we moved to our condo off Downer in Milwaukee. Then we mover to the Westside of Milwaukee when we rented from Ken Karr, the former landlord, now a current friend on Highland and 29th St. Then we moved to Mandeville Louisiana for a little less than a year. Returning to The Fox River Valley, we rented a home in Fox Crossing, formerly The Town of Menasha. When the tree fell on the roof, and the landlord felt no urgency to fix it, we moved to W. Commercial in Appleton. Here is a shocker. Are you sitting down? We are moving. No, I don't mean off the couch and out to the patio. There are too many damn mosquitoes for that to happen. No, we are packing our stuff, or at least the stuff we unpacked from the last move and moving to a home Maria purchased on Mason and Glendale in Appleton. Let me unpack that last sentence (pun planned for). We are moving at approximately the end of September to a house. The house has been in t...

Latest News From The City On The Inland Sea

 Many of us in Milwaukee have put away the black armbands recognizing our grief for the Brewer's early exit from the playoffs. The Packers are going through their season, letting Jordan Love grow into the vacancy left by the departure of Aaron Rodgers. The Milwaukee Bucks are daring anyone to try and take this year's championship away from them. Marquette, UWM, and the Badgers have an abundance of hope. Marquette, however, has the talent. My Treatments We are at a checkpoint. Along with my immunotherapy next Monday, I'm having a scan. It's felt that my body has shed enough radiation so we can get a look at the infected area and evaluate the progress. Watch this space. I am feeling well. I had little reaction to the second round of the Keytruda and don't anticipate any from the next injection. I went to Walgreens to get my Flu shot and my COVID booster. Remember when we used to go to the drugstore because they had a soda fountain. Wanderings Jeanne and I decided to g...
