Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Yes, in some ways, time does pass way too fast, but then again, when a person wants the days to fly past, they seem to drag on forever.
Right now, going through my last couple of infusions, it seems like time is almost going backwards, but I know, after the last one is done and I'm beginning to feel better, time will again race past me faster than I can grasp it.

My favorite cartoon bear was Yogi Bear who was the gruff philospher of Jellystone Park. Oh and uh, hey hey Boo Boo. He was smarter than the average bear.
It’s hard getting any sympathy in this household. Just the other day I was feeling sorry for myself, deep in the throes of P.O.M.S (Poor Old Man Syndrome), when I said to Andrea, “What are you going to do when I go doolally one of these days?”
”What d’you mean, ‘Go doolally?’” she says.
“You know, lose my marbles, say hello to Mr Alzheimer, whatever.”
She looks at me. “What d’you want me to do? Hide your socks or something?”
