Sometimes in dark days, you need a dark muthartruckin' book

Spent most of last week reading:
 1 Dead in Attic  by Chris Rose.  A fine piece of writing and well worth the Pulitzer.

It was on my list before the cancer thing, and SINCE I COLD TURKEY-ED cigarette smoking for the surgery, I spent the entire $148.32 I saved at the bookstore.

So Chris, if you read this, the question "How are you doing?" is also the question du jour for cancer patients. From now on answer will be "What are the choices?"

Now, my fans, go out there and buy it

"...and let them know we're not dead and if we are dying, we're going to pretend we're not."
