Hi All,
This will be brief, as it is late and I am sleepy. I have hit "rock bottom" on the counts, so that goal has been accomplished. Now we wait probably another 5 days, and hope to start in the other direction, as the "stud cells" (my new name for them) start to graft and do their thing. Still no major problems. In one regard, it is hard to believe I have been in here for 15 days already.
I hope that is 50% or more time put in, but we'll have to wait and see about that. One introspective note: I think I have recaptured some of the patience I used to have in my youth. I learned a great deal of patience in the Army, in the early '70's. I kept it for years, but it slowly waned as the decades passed, and I no longer considered myself a truly patient man anymore (I think Cookie, Mark, and several others will back me up on that). But I believe this experience has forced me to learn that valuable tool all over again!
One last note: I was taken aback by the many comments supporting Cookie and her quick KO in the boxing match. It seemed to make many of you very happy. Is this a sexist response, I wonder? Could be! Please examine your motives, and get back to me on that.
Goodnight, and love to All.
Mike

Dear Mike and Cookie,
We hope that 'Cherish' and 'My Love' make it to the top ten CD list. Angels are sent in mysterious ways!
Cookie, you may consider making up a little handbook for people new to the city or visiting. It would be a terrific resource.
Mike, each night we keep you in our thoughts and prayers; to make this miracle happen. Thank you for sharing your experience in such an eloquent way.

I'm sharing my personal power word for today.
Every day I choose a positive word and apply it to everthing and everyone. Today's word is
" change" Receive the best "change" can offer!

P.S even tiny change is good!
HI guys, Cook it was so wonderful sharing some time with you.You helped get me back on track with the Zemel attitude; look at the positive side, "What was was", the glass is half full,take one day at a time, etc. Mikey, I know I don't have to tell you to stay positive and strong, that is your daily motto. so my love to both of you and hope to spend more time with you very soon. love you both so much, B.

Mike - in regards to your patience I must say I never looked at that way. I am always impressed by your PASSION!!! There is a big difference.
As for Cookie knocking you out - I'm sorry - I love it!! I can only imagine the excuses on one side of the room and the celebration on the other side. Cookie you ROCK!!
The streets are paved with Gold Mikey - Keep it positive!!

Mike, So wonderful to hear from Gary that you are doing well. Reading this blog is an amazing experience - you are truly an inspiration to all who read it. With your young (21 - huh?) fighting spirit and the unbelievable love and support of your wonderful family - you will be the WINNER!
Love and best wishes, Gary & Hillery Kraus
Glad to hear things are progressing so well.
Looking forward to getting an assignment on

Hi Mine Mikey,
I always thought you were a patient man, after all you have put up with us for so many years:)
Many more years to come, keep practicing on being patient, you'll need it.
I seem to be experiencing a split personality lately. My first teams to cheer for are always Chicago teams. Since the Bulls are no longer in the playoffs I have had to go to my "second" choices. Now, I have a problem. When I lived in Houston I became a Rockets fan. Living in CA I have also become a Lakers fan. I find myself cheering for both teams, knowing that both cannot win. What do you suggest? Same problem is going on with hockey, but at least "my" teams are not playing each other this week. Stay strong, you have an amazing spirit.
Love you,
Bonnie
Patience, Smatience, I personally can't wait until you come home! I heard you had company today. Don't get too busy to write. Keep those blogs coming. Love to you and Cookie,
Lanabelle
