O this world. Sun dappled & joyous days. Hot humid Ohio summers everything growing and green. Kids and souls and family all crushing around, whirlwind of youth and then all grows so fast. Where has everyone gone? At the top of the slide, after a long climb, looking down, every sense alive, alive. Falling into God's hands.

Cancer Beard is Dead! Long Live Cancer Beard!
Well, Mother's Day 2015 rolled around, and, considering all my poor mother has been through this year, I thought I'd finally accede to her wishes. Thus Cancer Beard was finally shaved after Lo! these many months.
And thus, I offer you this retrospective of the good times that me & Cancer Beard had together:
 |

A Colonoscopy Carol
'twas the night before colonoscopy
and all through my bowels
The prep solution was stirring
like a wildcat that prowls
... OK. That's enough. I'll spare you anymore. But it was gonna be one hell of a poem!
