Doug Wright - I apologize for taking so long to post something. I have kept thinking I would wait until some significant event was over and then include it in my report, but those keep forming. I am doing well, sailing through seas that vary in roughness. I had a CT scan a week and a half ago that showed a lot of disease in my lungs, especially my left, but alsoa little aeration in the upper lobe that had not appeared before, which is encouraging. My prinicipal challenge is fatigue, which I'm trying to overcome with diet and mild exercise. My skin has responded to the chemo very badly, with a grotesque rash that bleeds, and extremely dry sensitive skin all over my body. Tomorrow we'll try to figure out what to do about that. I continue writing, thinking, and driving. I just visited southern California and saw Paul, met some interesting people, as well as two friends I had not seen for twenty years. I also visited the Olive Tree. http://movingarts.us/poetry-olive.html I

Keenly felt, and often hurtful
Tears of loss
Miss you my friend
Still
You and I were "Rudy". It was the name we shared, and the mere utterance instantly brought recognition that the other had arrived.
I miss hearing it from your lips. But knowing how you'd disapprove of wallowing in despair, I've attached the moniker to two facets of my being that dialog on a regular basis. They call each other "Rudy", and in that way you live in me.
