The Boomtown Rats – I Don't Like Mondays
The throat closures are getting more frequent, and the general pain level is on an uptick. I put on the topical cream to numb the injection port, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw an older version of me. I did not see the usual rakishly handsome gadfly, but a more somber version. I saw a determined, but injured participant. Injured, but not defeated. Let's do this thing again, let's go. Determined is the attitude, not complacent, not surrendered.
I will show up today with a positive attitude. I will participate to the best of my ability. I will have the 4th of 7 injections, and my 15th radiation out of 35.
Jerry Jeff Walker – L.A. Freeway

The Waterboys – The Whole Of The Moon
I saw a valley, you saw Brigadoon. Show me.
Let's get this party started. Where's my floppy hat?
I'll report back after I meet my cure.
