Dancing Dogs as I fake a ball throw.

Here is a clean start, but close!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or Happy Holidays, which ever floats your boat, to all my friends on the RubinReport channel!

We went to a rental in Easter Washington to celebrate our 51st Anniversary. Bottom line is that we had a good time. Highlights: Beautiful place and views. Access to a very nice stream on a private beach. Coming home, about 11:15am, when we were passing Keechelus Lake (just below the summit of Snoqualmie Pass), we heard what I at first throught was a very loud truck overtaking us, but could not see it in my mirrors. But looking out the left window of the car I saw what I think was an F-18 flying about 50' above our altitude, (or about 150' above the lake level) around 50 yards off to my left! This was followed by two more of the same type planes rolling just like in the video you see of them to make their turns. Total of three of them following the terrain. Cool!!! I haven't seen them in real life doing that, but it is so impressive. Lowlights of the trip, A-Frame house with the bed shoved against the wall is very hard on a tall person who is on the wall side, and Janet fell ...

I finally got the results of the cat scan done in September - no sign of kidney cancer or lymphoma. This is great news.

The urologist thought that because I'd had two bladder cancer problems in two years there might be something happening in the kidneys that was triggering it.

I have also been having hot flashes (self diagnosed as womenapause). But since night sweats is one of the symptoms of the lymphoma I had already faced twice, I suspected that might be causing that.

So negative on both is great news. Now on to the followup treatments for the 2nd bladder cancer.
