18405. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/3/2006 2:52:41 PM Thanks ark and wonk.. I've been trying to get some images of the first trip up on Shutterfly, since November, but haven't had any time. I'm getting to hate travel for it's disruptions and postponements. 18406. Magoseph - 2/3/2006 2:53:35 PM Wonk, Flex thinks you covered very well the prostate situation and he should know since he underwent the same 12 years ago.
Thoughtful, we both are thinking of your husband and you. 18407. thoughtful - 2/3/2006 2:58:12 PM Thank you all for the kind words and wonks, that is most helpful and encouraging information. Wiz, I may just take you up on your offer as you are definitely closer to my home than Michigan.
I've been thinking about all the ways my husband has enriched my life for all of my life and the thought of living without him is most intolerable. I know it will probably happen some day, but not now. Not yet. Not when we still have so much living to do.
18408. alistairconnor - 2/3/2006 3:43:37 PM Oh, gee Tful, that's quite some weekend in perspective.
I hope it goes well on Tuesday. 18409. wabbit - 2/3/2006 4:13:20 PM T'ful, you and your husband have all my best wishes. Please keep us posted. 18410. thoughtful - 2/3/2006 4:23:19 PM Thanks A/c and wabbit...I certainly will keep you posted. 18411. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/3/2006 4:32:42 PM Thoughtful, the anxiety is the worst part of it all because it's like a feedback loop that drives one to the brink. Try to remember that there is no way to know what is down the road. If you always focus on the moment, you won't get trapped in the loop.
My friend Larry is 59 and had just retired as a school psychologist. He was devistated to learn that he had to deal with this problem, rather than fly fishing in Montana for the next twenty summers as he'd expected. Nevertheless, he did his homework and found the best urologist in the Hartford area to evaluate his situation.
Larry and his wife just got back from a photo safari in Kenya. Low psa, no side effects. Take each day as it comes and know that there is lots of help out there with great odds for success. 18412. thoughtful - 2/3/2006 6:30:12 PM Smooch!
Thanks Wiz. You're a peach. 18413. PsychProf - 2/3/2006 7:26:39 PM Excellent post by Wiz... 18414. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/3/2006 11:34:08 PM Fagedaboudit!
Siena was damp and cold as only a medieval city can be, but these posters helped and made me feel like a temporary rock star.
 18415. wabbit - 2/3/2006 11:55:39 PM Gorgeous! 18416. thoughtful - 2/4/2006 12:01:40 AM How nice!
What's with the michael jackson bit? 18417. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/4/2006 12:20:11 AM Ha! I had to adjust the camera for the diplomat who took the picture and hadn't had time to put the other glove back on--very good pickup there, tful! 18418. Magoseph - 2/4/2006 1:07:58 PM Excellent post by Wiz...
Yes, indeed, Prof--the Mote posters are lucky to have such nice friends as you and Wiz.
18419. wonkers2 - 2/4/2006 3:51:40 PM Cap'n Dirty sez, "Fergit the wiz, that foxy lady's a candidate fer a cruise on the Tomater Sloop!" 18420. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/4/2006 4:27:04 PM LOL! I'll be sure to share that compliment with Mrs. Wiz, Cap'n. 18421. judithathome - 2/4/2006 9:11:04 PM Add my compliments, too...a fine looking couple, indeed! 18422. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/5/2006 3:00:23 AM Thanks Judith. We probably look that happy because we had just come from an osteria that served up ricotta-filled gnocci in a very delicate parsley, pistachio and artichoke salsa verde with an olive oil to die for. If anyone is going to Florence, Siena or Rome soon, please let me know, because we found some of the best restaurants on Earth this trip. 18423. judithathome - 2/5/2006 9:34:40 PM Met up with half the gang Last night at the chef's house...great food, as usual. And a lemon cake for dessert that was to die for.
We had such a good time...conversation was fabulous. We talked about everything from magazine editors to art forgers to museum curators to Russian opera...and books. 18424. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/5/2006 9:42:25 PM I think I was with the other half last night where the conversation wasn't in the same hemesphere as "fabulous!"
