Aye - That I'll do. In the next 24 or so --- I'm just getting ready to hit the hay... But I'd love to post some for ya.

Do you have any pictures of Alaska? I am disappointed that no one else tried posting pictures.
I really like the Budha - btw.
Very peaceful.
You are very perceptive; There is an interesting story behind the pictures from the garden, but I can't tell it on a public forum. Nothing illegal, just don't want to embarrass anyone with the outside chance they get to hear the story.
Yesterday we went to an attraction called Thunder hole. It is a channel in the granite at the shoreline about 10 feet wide, 15 feet deep and 40 feet long. It has a shallow cave at the end of it.
Surf enters the channel and when it fills the cave, it makes a deep thud sending spray flying in the air. There is an observation deck above it and it is filled with families with young children. When a large wave hits and makes a lot of spray, the children all squeal with delight.
My uncle took me to this 55 years ago and I still remember it. When the children all started squealing it brought back memories so vivid it was like re-living instead of remembering.
WOW!
Thasss all I can say... WOW!
Now go find 2 smaller hills - and casually tip toe up them! LOL!

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
As a good friend of mine always sys "Life is not a rehearsal" so live it now.
I am not familiar with the term c-lvl. As I recall, you are in information mgmt. Is that right?
Great pics Andiamo! You seem to have enjoyed life well and doing the needed things to continue in the same for while to come... I'm 53 and seem only a 'blink' behind you and feel after seeing these I need to go live for a while and quit worrying about the small stuff (and it's all small) I feel good and doing the same study if you recall but at stage 4 but feel great (except for tx) and expect also to be done this time as well. But your pics made me yearn for the simpler things and ask myself why I'm still chasing the rats (the rat race that is)... I'm a c-lvl in my company and we're selling and think that I will use your strategy for a while and enjoy life! I go for my 12 week 'gate' next week and expect to be fine... thanks again for sharing I will review those again this weekend as I go through the 'tunnel'... have a great one and keep on keepin' on!
I added a gallery of photos from Maine. I hope you like them.
I tried to write something good for a description of the garden, but my muse failed me. I am tired from all this walking. It is very frustrating to not be able to walk up a hill.
Today, we rented a horse and buggy (along with 14 other people) and went on a buggy ride to the tea house used by the super rich of the past. We traveled on the carriage roads built by J D Rockefeller. He had 300 people working for ten years on the carriage trails. He donated them to the national park system so we can all use them.
I hope all is well with you. I guess you are busy since few posts today.
I'm back to dial up...and can't see pics :(
It stinks...I feel like my lifeline has been somewhat severed!
...at least I can get on this forum..though it takes way too long. 'nough complaining. Hope you feel good and have a nice weekend, Eric.
Hey Meki, you always make me feel good.
It's raining here for the first time in two weeks, so I guess it's time to go back to bed and read a book. Otherwise, I will get sucked into watching the stock market go through its gyrations once again. - it's Friday after all.
You didn't see flowers in the picture? Must be my bad photography. There were flowers everywhere!
I will post some more Maine seashore pictures later today.
I met Earl Campbell once. He had a pickup truck you wouldn't believe. Tinted windows and everything...
Makes you want to be rich.. LOL!
Ahhh well - dreams are always good.
But I have to tell you - looked all over for the flowers... none there yet...
ALso --- You were a super HOTTIE at 17... Not so bad now either. LOL!

I added the garden to the gallery.
The picture of us sitting was taken in the garden that belonged to John D Rockefeller. It originally had a 90 room house that was torn down, but the property and gardens are preserved. It overlooks Seal Harbor on Mt Desert Island. I believe he and his family spent the summers there.
The property is currently owned by David Rockefeller and he maintains the gardens as they were originally designed. If you like, I will post the pictures of the flowers tomorrow.
We have a friend that has some connections and she got us into the garden while it was closed to the public. It is opened one day a week and you have to sign up for a tour. We were very lucky to be the only people in the garden. It was amazing to see what enormous wealth can do for you. We only had a one hour peek; I can't imagine what it must be like to be able to live your life like that!
What beauty... And Mafalda is a knockout!
What a cool bike too... And that one --- where the two of you are sitting ---- wow - talk about pristine looking. You'll have to tell the story of that place... I love reading what you write!

I am taking an experimental drug and there are no meaningful statistics to base any decision on. There is strong evidence that 24 weeks is probably enough for most people, but I am high risk since I am stage 3 and 67 years old.
If I am in the 24 week program, the decision is out of my hands. If I am in the 48 week program, I will wait for the PCR results. If I cleared week 4 or less, I will probably stop.
It is a tough decision given my age. This is probably the last time I will treat, so I don't want to blow it. I am not sure I can take this for 48 weeks though.
Andimao,,,Thanks for sharing! And am I ever Jealous,,,,LOL That is definitely the way I would love to retire!!!
You got it - just sittin on a neighbor's.
Pertiest woman on the planet. You can tell him I said so....
Cool harley dude, betcha wish you still had that one huh? Unless you were just sittin on someone elses! (i.e. expensive toy for a 17 year old)
i dunno man, i had a FANTASTIC week last week and this week i've got some sort of bug again. like the flu. i would say IFN but i don't have week long flu. I emailed a couple of heps who agree with my docs 48 weeks but i've seen a couple of studies that say there's only a two percent difference between 36 and 48. small studies.
what is your thinking as you get to 24? I am only 2 weeks behind you.
Ah remembrance of things past.
How are you feeling these days. I have followed your posts and I know the agony of trying to decide to stop treatment early. I am going through that now as I near week 24 of Prove 3.
they look just great.
that LOOKs like John Lithgow.......
I like the nonlogin thing too.
Thanks for doing this.......and what a handsome motorcycle riding devil as well!
