Some questions of interest to me

How many of your friendships have lasted more than ten years?

Which of your current friends do you feel will still be important to you ten years from now?

If you had the choice of one intimate soulmate and no other close friends, or of no such soulmate and many friends and acquaintances, which would you choose?

Let me know how you feel.

Good news all around

The hurricane did little or no damage to our area of Florida. Thank you very much.

Today was my follow-up visit with the Oncology department at the hospital and it appears that the tumor has shrank even more and they will not put me on Chemo and they will wait for 12 weeks to check me again. Tim and Chris went with me and we were all glad about this result. Maybe now I can talk about something other than my lousy health.

Spent several hours with my brother Don and his wife Jan and their daughter Carrie and her husband Bob. It was a great visit as I have not seen Don & Jan in almost 10 years. I will see them again on Friday and I am looking forward to that.

I hope all of you are doing well and I'll talk with you again soon.

Here comes the rain

Hi everybody. We are going to get some rain or maybe worse. I got extra water in case I need it. The flashlights all work and I have plenty of candles. Maybe it won't be so bad. Here a problem for you to solve:

Aren't the 'good things that come to those who wait' just the leftovers from the people that got there first?

Bobby went home yesterday

I am going to miss her. We had great fun when she was here. It just wasn't a very long visit. She asked me a couple of questions before she left that I was unable to answer maybe some of you will know the answers. Please let me know.

Q: If a General is a higher ranking officer than a Major, then why is a major illness worse than a general illness?

Q: Do they put underwear on corpses?

Q: Doesn't a lightning rod on top of church show a lack of faith

Well the boys are helping me with this blog

I was not posting very often and I asked the boys to help out if they had time. You have seen their entries, what do you think? I think they are great guys and a little wacko too. It is good to have them helping. Some days I am just not in the mood, no what I mean?

My sister Barbara is coming to visit me on the 13th of October and I am looking forward to that. She and I always have great fun together. Don and his wife will be visiting there daughter Carrie and her husband Bob at their Florida home around the time of Don's birthday at the end of October and I am planning on seeing him when they do.

Went to dinner with Chris and Tina tonight and I had Snow crab and loved every bite. I enjoy eating out once in awhile and they are good company.

The O'Connor Menz

Here is a picture of the three of us taken within the past year or so. Can you properly end a sentence with the word "so?" Hmmm... I think so. I mean I hope so.

The scary thing is - none of us were wearing pants at the time this picture was snapped. Oh, and Tim was touching my butt, hence the smile on his face and the confused look on mine.

As if anyone cares...

My father and I have been discussing the idea of adding pictures to his Blog as a means of spicing it up a bit. This is the first attempt so let's see if I succeeded in pulling this off.

Oh, this is me, by the way - Chris O'Connor. Tim has been sent an invitation to post on this Blog so maybe we'll hear from him too. He is much more computer literate than me, so adding pictures will be a breeze for him.

Note the receeding hairline. I'm not all that excited about this. But what can you do? Life is precious and focusing on trivial things is a tremendous waste of time and energy. With that said...I wonder if hair transplants would work? :-)
