I am born & raised in California. However due to recent elections & the feel of the state I am now in Tampa, Florida. I am a semi-tired....Errr I mean retired guy & along with my wife & Minature Schnauzer Dante we are enjoying the beaches & everything Florida has to offer. Ough yes until last October I had never been in the hospital. I had a small problem that led to tests & I was told I had 4th stage Colon Cancer. This is normally a reason to go home & wait for the end. However I thought "I'm not done yet" so I went in for Chemotherapy & now four months later everything is almost gone. I am confident that in the next three months my little monster will be GONE!!! I will then be able to get back out there & have a little fun with life here in Florida....
