cancer update

I went yesterday to see Dr. Chi. The news was good. My lymph nodes had shrunk to the point where no further treatment is required. This means that the cancer is dead, and only scar tissue remains. They will still keep checking on me for ten years though, so its not something i will be able to live without. I do have to begin living a healthier life, however. I am over weight (248 lbs) and I have to quit smoking. This reality has left me unhappy and so i remain inactive and smoking. However, there is time to fix that. Meanwhile, my love life continues to be at a standstill, regardless of the fact that I have many women in my life, who show a lot of affection for me, but nothing "romantic". This might have something to do with me being a smoking fatso, hard to say. Anyway, I have two shows this weekend, and I won the poetry slam this week. The conservative got re-elected, even though i voted strategically (ie Liberal).
Not much inspiration in the blog I admit, but at least I'm still writing it. I have a show next weekend in Victoria, and hopefully my island dream girl will show up.

thanksgiving and the ghost train

This long weekend was pretty active, starting with the comedy show at Rossini's being canceled. Dissappointing, after just having gone on the Urban Rush TV talk show, to promote it. But it was a good four month run, so these things happen. The restaurant seems pretty empty most of the time, so it may just have been the wrong venue. Then I picked up Breanna and brought her out to stay over on Saturday so we could go to the Ghost Train, a Halloween thing that runs in Stanley Park. Th etrain itself was not as scary as other years, but we did have a lot of fun, and ran into old friend Steve Colson and his cute family. Sunday, Bree and I went to church and then i drove her back to her mom's. Kathleen came over and cooked a brilliant Thanksgiving dinner, and a few friends came over for dinner. One of them called after her left to tell about an accident down the hill where a car had crashed into a ground level apartment, so we went down to check it out. It appeared the driver had had a heart attack, and lost control. All in all, and interesting weekend. And now its raining, and doesn't look like it'll stop for a few months.
