Quick health update: original plan was to do immunotherapy for one year, which would’ve ended with November’s infusion. Last month the oncologist told me I would be doing immunotherapy ‘indefinitely’. So, a little disappointing, but you just move on. Not everything in life has a beginning, middle and end.

All good 👍🏻.

Carrick on Shannon, 2014.

Perhaps only in Ireland would you find a Chapel and Bar paired next to each other.

Keystone Korner, 1970

Located in San Francisco, Keystone Korner was a great venue for live music, especially jazz and blues. Apparently the venue moved to Baltimore. Also, there is some incorrect info on the web regarding the year the venue opened. One site listed it as opening in 1972. I believe the opening was in the late 60’s and operated until 1983. I was only 18 when this photo was taken so I wasn’t able to legally go inside. During this same trip I visited a club in Berkeley on Telegraph Ave. On that evening I stood outside of the service entrance and listened to Mose Allison for a couple of hours.

This image was scanned from a 110 50 year old print. Anyway, Boz Scaggs and Benny Cecil and the Snakes’ were on the bill.

A Magical Place

My brother lives in southern Oregon, a few miles from a tiny town called Merlin. There are 11 deer living on his property. This doe likes to lay in the shade, on his porch, and listen to the TV.

I’m almost sure this is Sunset Beach, on the Olympic Peninsula coastline. It was taken a few years ago.

Health update: I have a CT needle biopsy this Thursday morning.

Good juju welcome! 🙏🏻.

Be well.

Update-

6 June 2024:

Pathology report came back positive for cancer. I’ll meet with doctors on the 19th and 20th to discuss next steps. Disappointing, but not surprising. This is the third chapter in my cancer journey, which initially started back in early 2019.
