A New Year

I did manage to find Yuma AZ & Herb & Sandi.  It was about a 270 mile trip.  Took the long was as I missed a turn on the freeway (story of my life down here). Went thru Quartzite Az.  Quite a nice drive it was very sunny out but still a little nippy @ around 45 deg.  Had a few drinks with Herb & Sandi on NY eve & then found a hotel & went out again.......go figure.  Took a cab of course.  Found a bar with an outside bar that had a couple of bon fires & a swimming pool.  Had champane on the stroke of midnight, called for a cab which took an hour to get there.   Talked to Victoria @ midnight sdpt time.  She says I was still cohearent mostly....I think it was all the noise at the bar.

Drove home the next day after visiting w/ Herb.  They were having a chilli feed & the RV park where he's at so got to eat chilli & catfish.  Then we took a short drive to see Yuma Lake.  Quite impressive.  Must be all of 5 acres maybe.  They grow lots of cabbage, brocali, lettue, califlower around Yuma.  Left there about 3 in the afternoon for Redlands, needed a nap.  Drove by Salton Lake on the way home.  A good sized lake that salty.  Desert like country except for the irrigation & many farms by the river. 

Have had 3 treatemnts so far so only 42 to go.  Takes a total of about 30 min a day.  the actual radiation is only about 1 min.  I talked to a guy the other day who was on his 44th treatment, he biked, hiked, & ran a total of 11 miles that day.  I hope it makes me into a super hero!
