This was a tough one. For the first time in my life, humor and optimism as my primary manner of dealing with the twists and turns we all face appeared to be a weak strategy. Finally, just a few days back the stinging, sharp pain began to dull along with the pounding and confusion in my head. This episode began on Memorial Day but it took until today to add the finishing touches. My energy is improving but under no circumstance can I push myself, so a regular schedule is out of the question for now.

Unlike the stage 4 Lymphoma of 2018 this was not a blood cancer, but a tumor in my lung. They apparently got all of it and it didn’t spread. After waking in recovery and well enough to check messages, a chill went through me at the news of Mike Peters passing on April 29, basically while I was on the table. Perhaps it was the meds but I was convinced he had a hand in my survival, simply because that is just the type of human he was. His years-long battle with blood cancer caused us to bond even before I got sick during a long conversation around the release of his “Man In The Camo Jacket.” His amazing wife Jules, Mike and I spent at least an hour discussing his ordeal, as well as my daughters lifelong immune disorder. When I got sick in 2018 he was one of the first to call.

This episode is for Mike Peters, Jill Sobule, Rick Derringer, James Lowe of The Electric Prunes and the still very much alive Garland Jeffreys and his wife Claire. I love you all.
