As I have stated, if the doctors are right, I won't see another Thanksgiving or Christmas, as I was given three years to live if I was lucky. Three years since hearing that comes on August 11. If I make it past that into the holiday season, then I can think of it as a victory over my prognosis, though not necessarily a sign that I will beat terminal cancer. It will be more like uncharted, new territory. I am not sure how I will look at things then. Maybe I will just live day to day, maybe I will not make any plans more than 2 or 3 weeks ahead of any given day. I just won't know before that time comes, if it does. What I would like is to go to Denmark for Christmas. I was there once when I was 10 I think, in late November and early December for my aunt and uncle's 25th anniversary. What a treasure of memories I have of a different culture and how they celebrated ALL day. We gathered outside the farmhouse at 4:30 am and sang songs until they came outside and had to invite us all in for breakfast. I ate, then retreated to the room where all the coats were laid and dove in, falling asleep in moments. Later, we all went into town and stayed in a large restaurant dining hall for not one, but two meals and the dancing and drinking went on way past midnight. I was exhausted and rather bored by the end. I mean, as a kid, no wine or beer for me and watching the adults acting stupid the more they drank got monotonous. I slept late that next day. I appreciated the time spent there more and more after it was over. Anyhow, spending Christmas there would be a dream come true. There are even special beers brewed at Christmas that I would enjoy, as many have (gasp!) black licorice in the mix. I loooooooove black licorice, except cheap stuff like Twizzlers. The big meals they make are another draw and pretty much a sure thing when it comes to snow. Those of us in and around KC have been cheated out of white Christmases for a few years now. It will be cold, dark most of the time with about 7 hours or less of sunlight per day, but it is so festive and people have candles lit in their homes, fires in fireplaces if they have a fireplace, warm drinks, and get togethers with family and friends. There are Christmas meals at pubs like the Duus, where I am known as I am a lifetime member of the King Christian IV Guild which has their HQ there. It's a medieval pub with an atmosphere that is hard to beat. The past few Christmases for me have been good, but lacking that special feel, that magic of the season. I am sure I'd find it over there, especially in my cousin's little castle he bought and lives in now called Rosvang. I am not a citizen, but my family and friends tell me that I am part of Aalborg where my pubs are, and part of Løkken, where I am referred to by some as the "May Resident." They tell me when spring comes and it will soon be May, they say, "The sun is coming soon, and Ed, too!" I do feel so very much at home there, I feel loved and welcomed, and like I am part of the places I love to stay. Add that Christmas joy and magic to it and that could well be one of the highlights of my life. There's a hurdle ahead of me in August that I have to vault over first, and who knows what hurdles between now and then, but if I make it, I think I have to go over there for Christmas. |

Happy New Year Ed and keep chugging along. If cancer could be cured by having a great outlook and spirit, you would have whipped this a long time ago!

Ed, I have an extra ticket to the playoff game. It is yours if you think you'd feel up to it. Let me know ASAP though.
