One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of existence. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of living and dying.
The Shoes of the Fisherman by Morris L. West,
I, myself, have killed 6 people. All random, no way to trace them to me. Let me tell you, there’s nothin’ like it. It’s a great feeling. Yeah, I know, you’re thinking, Aw, he’s a comedian. He’s just sayin’ that stuff. Good. That’s exactly what I want you to think.

There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.

A Letter to Three Wives is a 1949 movie that takes place on the first Saturday in May.
Their “best friend” is announcing that she is running away with one of their husbands – but she does not say which one.
These two bicycled from one side of the USA to the other, just like this! Such a healthy duo!
Update 2024: I’m feeling fine. Getting energy back. Speech is still affected, but can at least communicate. Hoping focus on exercise and caloric restriction proves effective.
Update 2023: Doctor asks for me to take a look at the MRI. It is stable from before, not worse or better. The good thing is there is no contrast enhancement to suggest an ongoing active infection. Since steroids have not helped symptoms, think it is best to do another spinal tap (lumbar puncture) just to make sure there is no inflammatory process.
Update May 2, 2023: This domain will be up for grabs soon, and its server files will self destruct 11/28/2024. I’m not afraid of death because I’ll be proceeding the people I most admire, relatively soon.(Think about that, Ha, Ha!) P.S.: I’m currently taking infusions to fix my brain (more ha, ha!)
this hidden file reveals how the database is accessed. written in PHP (not JavaScipt), it resides invisibly on the server.
Update May 3, 2023: Last of 3 infusions made no difference. Another MRI tomorrow, this time with contrast. MY guess is that it will show what? Envisioning Stephen Hawking.
Next step is explaining the code to those who are interested in stack-based webdesign, i.e., HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is all native code; no external libraries or frameworks.

Update May 1st, 2023: Doctor says: The MRI has been read. There are some changes that are not very specific and they recommended an MRI with contrast to evaluate better (on Thursday). The good news is that it wasn’t a stroke and the bad is that if the infusions over the next several days don’t reduce the inflammation (caused by Covid) then it is because the cancer has reached my brain.
What to do now, to have done by then?
