Here we are in SLO, got in last Friday, went back to Stanford Cancer Center yesterday for a 9 am regular checkup and a 5 pm PET scan. We didn't arrive until 11:30, no big deal, and got started on the PET scan an hour early, but a long day nevertheless. We went back to the apartment and got the last of our stuff, and got to SLO at 10pm. Mike and Jack and I were going to stay over last Friday, when Dana called and pointed out that we could come to SLO and just drive back Monday, and she could stay in SLO, so that is what we did.
It turns out I am a little beside myself, not ahead, not behind. I have to go to the local hospital tomorrow and get 2 units of blood, so six hours of sitting and reading. I have been freezing all the time lately, so I think that is from being anemic. All the rest of my chemistry looks fine, so whoever donated the blood, thanks. I think people must get ahead of their souls a lot, and we end up with bad crimes and government. What would happen if you got behind your soul, would it be just as bad?
It was Kilgore Trout that wrote sci-fi stories that were only published in porno mags, and it was Dwayne Hoover, his only fan, that went nuts in "Breakfast of Champions." Happy Holidays and get the shopping done!

but I guess you have more than enough time to read. might be time to reread The Phantom Tollbooth; help with the whole orientation thing.
