Mine was pretty good. Excellent weatheer and I was really busy in the
shop, but still took time to watch the some of the shoe-throwing
contests in here.

Actually, it sucked. I was sick all day from the new treatment
protocol.

Thanks for asking though. :)

Sorry to hear, Tom.

I hate these "experimental" treatments even though I volunteer for
them. :)

As my internist says (she has quite a sense of humor), my situation is
so unique that it practically begs to be used as a test bed. :)

It's not a bad gig either - they pay my travel time, give me a stipend
for the day, allow me to pretty much have the run of the place
(because I'm interested in technology and medicine anyway), they know
that I'm not a complainer so when something ain't right, it ain't
right.

The down side of course is that these things can get ugly occasionally
- I have spent some hospital time due to a reaction, but overall, it's
been worth it. I'm not in a wheel chair, still mobile, still have a
sense of humor about the whole thing and I appreciate that the
researchers enjoy some of my antics from time-to-time.

Altough I must admit, the time I lit up a Cuban while in the infusion
chair (heck - I was going to be there for 10 hours - you know what I
mean?) didn't go over too well, but they eventually got over it. :)
