Fade Out Again...

What I hear: Sigur Ros - Svefn G Englar

I bet someone who speaks Icelandic would laugh at me because I probably spelled that title wrong, but I don't speak Icelandic, so I don't care. That's how whomever it was that I downloaded that song from spelled it, good enough for me.

So, tomorrow is the big retreat to Pine Trail... lots o' memories there... it should be interesting. Betsy was going to go, but it ends up that she can't. That's too bad, because it would be good to see her again. Natalie is going, though, so it will be like a whole new generation of women that I get to bring up there... weird.
ok, a little background... PTC is where I met my first and only other girlfriend, before Natalie. I suppose that's all we have to say about that... I guess I could add that she was older than me (I was 15, she we 17) and we dated for a little over a year. It was a good learning experience and now I am with the girl of my dreams, and Brenna is getting married in a couple months to Chris, the Australian stud. They are over on the other side of the world right now. At first I though it was weird that she was getting married, but now Laura and Chris are married, and Dave and Kristin are getting married... it's less weird now. I bet that even I will get married in the next few years. Wait... instead of few, pretend like I said many. ok, better.
You know what's weird, I started posting to this 9 minutes ago, and I'm still listening to the same song... it's all long.

In other news, they think that the know the reason that my uncle Mike got Lukemia. He does heating and air conditioning, and there is some chemical that he uses daily, I forget what it's called, but it is known to cause cancer. This is kinda good news, because it means that if he goes into remission then he will have a good chance of keeping it away as long as he stays away from that chemical. He's already talking abotu getting his real estate license. He's going to start chemo tomorrow, I believe, and he had his bone marrow biopsy today, and he's in a lot of pain. They have to drill into your hip and extract it with a big needle... and he didn't get knocked out or anything... ouch.
My aunt phyllis had her lymph nodes checked, and they said that the cancer did not spread there for her, so that's good also, because they believe that they got it all out. I'm not sure if it can come back, or what the deal is with that, but I know its good because she doesn't have any cancer in her right now.

ok, i think that's about all I have... I'm gonna go make a cd for the trip.
