The end of the Outback Bowl in Tampa, FL was NOTHING but very exciting. Loved the details in that last play by the U of MN football players. Very very cool. I did not think that they could beat Auburn but they did. Congratulations to the Golden Gophers.

What a great celebration we had this year, far exceeded anything we did in previous years....what did we do? NOTHING!!

[Spoiler]

Well I didn't really do nothing today... I guess I’ve pretty much been a slacker all year...

Been watching Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rambo: First Blood. Funny that when I see him mostly what comes to mind is his sneaking into the Red Lion Inn in Rohnert Park, CA in a nun's habit to avoid the press even though I never saw much press around those movie production trailers which they often had parked there. He was in Sonoma County area to film Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. He was not one of the people I ran into while taking my parents' cocker spaniel for her walk near these movie production trailers. And not for NOTHING.

Do like Rambo: First Blood though and loved all the Rocky movies.

One of my New Years reservations this year is to get up early and do nothing...

You seem to be NOTHING but on a roll.

First Blood - Movie Quotes - Rotten Tomatoes

There were many uses of the word NOTHING in the movie Rambo: First Blood.

Trautman: It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now.
John Rambo: For *you*! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!
Trautman: You're the last of an elite group, don't end it like this.
John Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job *parking cars*!

Another celebrity who made a movie in the Sonoma County area is Cuba Gooding, Jr. whose birthday is today and not for NOTHING. This was the Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo movie Outbreak from 1995. Rene Russo - Rotten Tomatoes

I took special notice of this film as when the vial with the number 612 came up in this film the man behind me and my mother at the Petulama Theater leaned over and asked "Did you see that?" I was taken quite aback until I thought about those very odd conversations about duck poop on the golf course near the Red Lion Inn and our backyard which overlooked one of the golf course holes in Rohnert Park, CA. I did try to get a better look at this man and his male friend but did not as they left the movie theater rather quickly. Outbreak (1995) - Rotten Tomatoes

Let's break the spell. I didn't make any real resolutions that I spoke out loud because you NOTHING but have to eat it when you screw up. I'm practicing one of my resolutions now. The other one isn't going so good. I just bought the last half gallon of Eggnog Ice Cream @ Publix.

Hmmm... I just went to Publix in search of Eggnog Ice Creme and they had nothing...

As this New Year has started, I guess I can give you all an update on myself. It has been 30 full days as of today since my radiation treatments ended and I am making really good progress. Here’s where I’m at now...

I can now swallow about any kind of food again with minimal discomfort. My taste bud sensation is just beginning to return and I can taste salt now. Nothing else, but the flavor of salt as of a week ago. It's a start, but it’s a good start as I have a lot of bacon to catch up on.

I still have to see a physical therapist as my mouth still doesn't open fully yet.

I also have to see a speech therapist as I still have a slight lisp when I speak. Mainly due to a still swollen tongue which is rapidly improving.

Caffeine or alcohol products are not allowed yet as they tend to dry you out and I’m not supposed to be getting dehydrated.

Additionally there is a high powered flouride treatment that I have to do every day due to the radiation permanently damaging my salivary glands and the root system of my teeth. I see a Dental Oncologist still for this. I am told that this will have to continue for the rest of my life.

Least of all of my problems, is that my mustache has not began to grow back yet and my hair is still missing in a big jagged patch on the back of my head. I look like I got into a fight with a drunken guy with a big dang can opener and I lost. (No offense if you happen to be a drunken guy with a big dang can opener...)

And of course most importantly, I have to be fully scanned (CT, PET, Barium swallow analysis and filming) during the latter part of February to see if the radiation treatments took care of the tumor that was on the base of my tongue, or if more has to be done. Certainly I am hoping for NOTHING but favorable results back from this testing.

And thats where I’m at in this process. I certainly have appreciated everyones words of support and prayers in the past 4 months.

Now back to your regular programming...

That is NOTHING but the kind of news we need around here. You're a good man Spoiler. It sounds like things are going in a good direction. Peace Out!

Progress is the thing!

I try to think about things A Day At A Time. It's NOTHING butt easier!

NOTHING but saw a lady walking a large cat around my neighborhood. It was having fun investigating the bushes and climbing a tree. She had a log leash so it went NOTHING but quite a distance up the tree. I told her that my pet could not do that. Run up a tree like that. The feline was not trying to get away from anything like my dog but just exploring.
