Hey! Just back from Florida. Nice get away and haven't had one of those in three years. Of course I hadn't been away because of my health and this time I go away and right away have a call from the doctor saying my white blood cell count is way low. I let that go but checked in today. They have now pushed off chemo for a week in hope of the white count correcting itself. We'll see what happens if it doesn't. if it does I just restart chemo.

Ah, the fez! The way the word fezo got invented was that when I was mmaybe 12 I tried to sneak a word by my then six year old brother when playing Scrabble for Juniors. The board has little pictures with words around it. One is of a fez. My brother had the right letters for that and played it. I had almost all vowels and no words to make so I threw an o at the end of fez and tried unsuccessfully to convince him it was a word. didn't work but teh word stuck. We've used it for everything - including a band name.
