it was a large brain tumor.

wow. Don't think it's common for a brain tumor to go un-diagnosed to so long and then kill you so quickly. Then again, having known at least one BT victim, the long drawn out case may be worse.

It happened to my friend two years ago, but his story had a fortunate ending.  He was a runner and kept on running regularly right up to the diagnosis.  He was having headaches though, so he went to the doctor.  The tumor was so big and so dangerously located that they air lifted him to the hospital within an hour to have immediate surgery.  He survived and made a complete recovery mentally and physically.  He was back to running within a couple of months and is now back running better than he was before surgery.

My father in law went really quickly this summer from a brain tumor.  He was having issues with headaches and slurring his speech.  They did a scan and detected a small growth. They set him up for further tests within the week.   Within days he had difficulty walking to the point he was rushed to the ER.  within 48 hours he was so far gone that he was transferred to a hospice unit where he died 2-3 days later.

My dad had a brain tumor the year I was born. It affected him the rest of his life susceptible to strokes. Also did something mentally with memory and comprehension. He was fine but I know it bothered him. Lived to be 82.

The New York Times’ annual Christmas trivia extravaganza had a section on Miggy. I will post the answers later.

A friend of mine was much less lucky. He was at a health club on a cycle and turned to speak to the person next to him and all that came out was gibberish. He went to the hospital which was nearby and they told him he had stage four brain cancer. They said if it went untreated he would be dead in 30 days and if they did chemo he would live six months and he lived almost exactly 6 months.

Betty White was so likable that even Ty Cobb smiled thinking about her.

I need more news about Javy Baez.  Did he have a nice Christmas?  What was under the tree on Christmas morning?  How are his workouts going?

I just bought an autograph card of his on eBay.  Is that the type of news you’re looking for?

Tom Matchick, who played for the '68 team died today.  At the time, I thought his name was Tom Magic.

Not to brag or anything but I just want everyone to know that I am now “proficient.” It is of course a ringing endorsement that every man wishes to receive… 😬
