  1. GR8 Pic & Post! I was in Home Depot with Trophy Wife yesterday and staring vacantly up at the aisle signs (looking for micro-waves) & standing too close to a group of four customers in conversation, and one them says to me out of the blue, "You're a dead ringer for Dennis Hopper". And I says to him that I knew we had the same 'tudes but wasn't aware of similar looks. And a conversation broke out, because the speaker didn't know that Hopper had just passed the same day. And drawing on my intimate experience with prostate cancer, I was able to point out that Dennis had only been diagnosed in 2009 so that he must have had a particularly virulent and aggressive case. Unless, of course, he had been careless about scheduling annual examinations.

  3. Prostate cancer runs rampant in my family. I DO keep vigilant with testing, and so far, so good.
