well, an update 5/25/07...

i'm *still* supposed tb dying of colon cancer, but after a series of scans showing no growth, the last one came up entirely clear, eg, nothing visible to the naked eye. such vicissitudinousness confuses my ass, you can say that again.

if you're a secular humanist as i, you don't believe in the power of prayer, right? i mean, it's not like god makes decisions according to the prayer traffic, he's not letting little bald-headed children die of leukemia and sparing me cause i've got a bigger prayer flow, goodness, i sure hope not.

but still, information travels in odd ways, we all at least know someone with an inexplicable tale to tell. me, i've had perhaps one extrasensory premonition in my life, i've tended to vaguely imagine that there was some sort of wave skip, an extremely unlikely stochastic resonance, a sun spot, perhaps, a three bumper combo off ozone ether and plain old water, so much water so close to home there is after all. couldn't there have been something in the air?

so i'm second-guessing prayer just a little less. blessedly, however, i haven't taken to reflexively assuring strangers that they're in my prayers: because they're not. compassion is a virtue, but i don't have the time.

ps... i've graduated to a canon xr4ti revel, whatever. i'm ashamed of myself when i see stuff people are taking with the same damn camera, but heck, i bet they can't do a 4:06 mile in their dreams, now can they?

I'm Male and Taken.
