Welcome back Don, thank you ,it's nice to be back. I have missed you all. Those cards and letters keep on coming.
You have been wondering "what has happened to "smilin Jack"? The all american boy..The boy is now a man who has the usual things going on.
Biggest thing is that the doctors at the VA have decided not to include me in any study to shoot radiation into my prostate. I like the story of "Smilin Jack" and "The shadow", any of you rtemember the shadow? The shadow knows what evil lurks in the heart of man.Old radio shows were good years ago.
The doctors observed that the rewards were not worth the additional risks, so instead gave me a big needle in my stomach to insert some sort of hormone.
I will get a shot every 3 months, expensive but will live longer. "who knows?"
The main purpose of telling you this stuff is that some of you may have the same disease. Cancer is not too good for people.
At age 77 I expect about 6 to 8 years to go. I am working on building a web site and it's a lot of frustration but fun...
The cancer will be begine. The spell check on this PC came up with bikini for that word....begignem begine or just not worth worrying about right now.

So friends and neighbors, keep them cards and letters coming..and keep smilin Jack ...rounding third and heading for home...Love to you all...
