Glad to see y'all back Shiner and CB! Congrats on the running and really glad to hear about not smoking. While you were gone my WMMW found a lump on my neck that I was told was probably "just a cyst," since I've been a non-smoker for decades (and was only an occasional "social" smoker at worst for a very brief period back in the early '80's). Despite a clear needle biopsy, it turned out to be throat (tonsil) cancer. So they yanked all that (tonsil and 20 lymph nodes) out, and I did chemo and radiation for awhile. Am fine now (with the exception of ongoing side effects of the treatment rather than the cancer), back "singing" and playing in my bands. In fact, I'm about 50 pounds lighter (yay!).

Don't be strangers!
