Kasey had her scans and tests on Tuesday at NIH. Met with the surgeon on Wednesday. No evidence of disease. In fact she was told her scans look "pristine." It is now over 7 years since her diagnosis. We thank God for this continuous miracle. Love you, Fred

FYI - Kasey is going to be on the Dr. Oz show tomorrow if she is not edited out. The show is about warning signs of cancer in women. She has about a 5 second video explaining the symptoms she had regarding lung cancer. Maybe it will help someone to get early detection. Fred

Seven years ago today Kasey was having her life saving operation at NIH. We give thanks every day for the doctor that gave her these years. I love you!

Congratulations to my wonderful wife. I love you.

Kasey just had her yearly checkup at NIH. Results NED! 6 1/2 years of NED since diagnosis. However some "uptake" was found in her breasts. Her NIH doctor feels it is not malignancy. She is getting a mammogram on Tuesday as a precaution. Fred

Mike, I feed the wild birds and the hawks are bad here as well. They are so bold they sit on top of the feeders waiting for the birds. I let Teddy out, our big mutt of a dog, as he loves to chase them. When I had my racing loft, hawks were always a problem. They seemed to always get my best racers. I guess the fast pigeons were not the smartest . Hi Judy, We are both doing well. Thanks for asking. Had a great Christmas with our kids and grandkids. I always check the site so I'm keeping up to date with all of you. You and all that fight this disease are always in our thoughts and prayers. Fred

Great job Mike. She turned out to be a beautiful bird. When hand feeding her what did you use for pigeon milk? I had feeder pairs that I would put babies under if the babies were about the same age. I used the feeder pairs to feed babies from some of my best breeders (those that raised really fast birds) which forced the good pairs to lay again when I took their eggs or babies for the feeders to raise. But I had about 20+ breeding pairs so had many options. Fred

Very funny Eric!

Good ones Ann. Thanks for the laughs.

I am so very sorry, Michelle. Fred

I forgot to mention that this is Kasey's results. I'm Kasey's husband.

4/15/09 bloodwork, urinalysis, chest x-ray, PET/CT scan, brain MRI, NED This is 4 1/2 years since diagnosis. She is my miracle. Fred

Great news Muriel. Kasey is out with the girls tonight but Teddy and I will man the pub until she gets back.

Hi Ned, Our cost this past month was $0.086 per kWh. We are in Pennsylvania that currently has rate caps on utilities. However, those caps come off soon and we expect our rates to increase as much as 50% or more due to higher energy costs. Fred

An old man in his mid-eighties struggles to get up from the couch then starts putting on his coat.His wife, seeing the unexpected behavior, asks, Where are you going?' He replies, 'I'm going to the doctor.' She says, 'Why, are you sick?' He says, 'Nope, I'm going to get me some of that Viagra stuff.' Immediately the wife starts working and positioning herself to get out of her rocker and begins to put on her coat. He says, 'Where the heck are you going'? She answers, 'I'm going to the doctor, too.' He says, 'Why, what do you need?' She says, 'If you're going to start using that rusty old thing, I'm getting a Tetanus shot.'

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise.' The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. 'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation. 'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you did you order?' The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise.' You're going to love this.................. 'Ah! So sorry,' says the waiter, 'I bring you Peeking Duck!'

A woman is in bed with her lover, who also happens to be her husband's best friend. They make love for hours and, afterwards, while they're just lying there, the phone rings. Since it's the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. The best friend listens, only hearing her side of the conversation: "Hello? Oh, hi... I'm so glad that you called... Really? That's wonderful.... Well, I'm happy to hear you're having such a great time... Oh, that sounds terrific... Thanks. Okay. Bye bye." She hangs up the telephone and her lover asks, "Who was that?" "Oh" she replies, "That was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you."

The pub is open. Per Muriel's request, 5 beers for everyone in celebration of her 5 years. Fred and Kasey
