Well, today it's official and I'm celebrating. It's been eighteen months since my cancer surgery and today my oncologist told me the results of a PET scan that was done last week. He says there's no sign of any cancer now.

I have an Opus X that was gifted to me some time ago and I've been saving it for a special occasion. This one seems pretty special to me. photo ADE66D6B-D19A-45CA-ADA3-F74907A408D8.jpg

    Can't think of a better reason. In fact I can't think of a better one.

    My wife goes in tomorrow for a checkup, and if the results are as good as yours I am finally going to smoke the "Lost City" that The3Stogies sent me.

    You have a drink on me and I'll have one with you.

    Prayers and good thoughts going out to you and your wife for a good checkup. And I'll definitely have a drink in her honor tonight. Glenmorangie sounds appropriate, I think....
