Checkup I’ve had cancer twice now, so I was a little apprehensive about going in to see my oncologist last Friday at 1:40 for a checkup, but I wasn’t as shook up as I used to be. I’m kind of old now and I’ve had a shot at trying to do what I wanted to do in life. Any time I live past now is a bonus. So my appointment was at 1:40, but that morning I had to do interviews in this office with local media people about the “American Splendor” movie. That took a couple of hours and it was noon when I got home. I started writing a record review I had to get done over the weekend, and really got into it. When I looked up I saw it was 1:40. So, wow, I had almost forgotten about my appointment. I tore down there and was only 15 minutes late. They were running behind anyway, so it didn’t matter. Well, I checked out OK; I’m still in remission. So for a while now I’ll probably be worrying about cancer on the back burner. Until the next checkup rolls around. 9:14:42 AM
