The prostrate biopsy was no fun (what the heck are doing with that needle, doc?). Four labs (incl. Johns Hopkins, Mayo..) gave no positive diagnosis.

I am fortunate to be a survivor. Regular testing can save lives.

The Red Herring was always mentioned as the place where he got his start and I sometimes felt I could hear echoes of him when I saw movies there. I am saddened to hear we lost him so young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-23352598857192079752007-12-17T03:56:00.000-05:002007-12-17T03:56:00.000-05:00i shocked to hear that..i shocked to hear that..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
