I am always eager to pass on my recommendations for novels or new authors, which I’ve discovered. I am finishing up The Final Case: A novel. Like many of the novels I read, I stumbled on it by accident. But the book caught my eye for three reasons. The first reason, while the book “fictionalizes”…

Again, sorry to be posting so often and so much about my health. As I mentioned before, this is where my family gets their updates so bear with it. So, the new cancer battle is underway, well, almost. Today I had my bone marrow biopsy. My last one was the worst pain of my life,…

I have been writing, blogging, and now podcasting on what’s wrong with the modern “Evangelical” movement since 1990. I have been tempted to revisit the abortion question with the Supreme Court leak on banding abortion, but I’ve fought the temptation as I have done enough. But I just listened to a great podcast on the…

I’ve uploaded a new podcast with the above title. Christianity has had an unhealthy conflict between faith and reason since its beginning. But Christianity teaches that God is the creator, including the creator of our reason as our means to finding truth just as our eyes were created to see light. Reason, while not perfect,…

So, as I was saying, I repeated my labs at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance on Monday. The results came back and my lambda light chains, the protein my cancer makes, did come back 20 points lower than my Anacortes labs, however, that was not enough. It still shows an increase of 60 points in…

Don’t mean to be melodramatic by posting again, but this is where my family gets their information about my cancer. I met with my Myeloma specialist today. We repeated the blood tests to make sure they are accurate. Results will be back tomorrow or Wednesday. If the lambda light chains are as high as they…

Thanks for your interest. As I mentioned last time, my renal function had improved, for which I am deeply grateful. However, the lab did not do the correct tests last week to measure my cancer progress so we were in the dark. Via self-advocation, I was able to get the correct tests done yesterday. The…

I have a new podcast titled: Finding God the Hard Way; A Descartian Odyssey. You can find it here. Below is the update on my health and thanks so much for your interest. Last Thursday I had my quarterly labs with two obvious concerns, the state of my renal failure and the state of my…

I’m still waiting for my labs and will report on those when they come in. My book is at the editor, so I have time on my hand to participate in a little satiric mischief. I now try to leave controversial things off my blog, however, there is no way to convert this into a…

I’ve added a new podcast, The Transexual-A Philosophical Perspective. You can listen to it here. I love controversy. I’m taking my first airplane trip since the pandemic to visit my family in Jacksonville this week. It is a bit scary, but I’m glad the numbers for COVID are down. I will have my cancer quarterly…
