Yes, I survived (colonoscopy). They did find a couple of polyps, one quite large. It's being biopsied. Otherwise, everything fairly normal. But, I have to return for another exam in 3 years. I was hoping for 10, or, like Martin and my father, none.

I don't like the diet restriction placed upon me for this week. Low fiber, which seems contradictory. I fixed a tuna macaroni casserole with spinach last night. With cheese, onions (plus garlic), and mushroom soup, it was quite delicious. Of course, I'm making up for 36 hours of "fasting".

I got the spinach from my daughter's greenhouse. Visited yesterday to see my grandson (ex-wife gone). We had a grand time playing and conversing.

When I awoke this morning, I got to see the full moon set and the sun rise. The moon was HUGE, and red. This morning's paper said the moon was at perigee, the closest it's been in 18 years. No wonder it looked so large. Check it out this evening as it rises after sunset.

Also in the paper, there was a list of book best-sellers. Tell me why Dr. Seuss has 3, count 'em, 3 books listed (Green Eggs.., One Fish.., and Cat in Hat)? What am I missing here? And how about the nonfiction list? Out of the top 10, half are by "conservatives": #2- Laura Hillenbrand ("Unbroken"), #3- Mike Huckabee, #5- "Revolt!: How to Defeat Obama and Repeal His Socialist Programs" (Morris and McGnn), #9- G.W Bush ("Decision Points"), and #10- Donald Rumsfeld ("Known and Unknown").
I'm beginning to think only Republicans write or read books. Where are the counter-attackers? I'm thinking "Diary of a Wimpy Democrat".

That's all for this session. Enjoy your weekend. Get out and exercise! I just finished "Born to Run", and am eager to hit the road--weather and colon be damned!
