Posted a short story in the Contents section. You can read it here if you like.

Really need to write more short stories. Would like to say they are easier to write than books, but they aren't. Just shorter.

What has happened to my links for Favourites and Content Pages? I click on them, and get "That page does not exist. You probably followed an outdated link."

Uh, well, yeah, I kinda figured that one out myself. The question is, how do I fix it?

Haven't slept well the last couple of nights. Last night was the worst... too many thoughts running through my head. What ifs... you know the kind... what if I go there this summer and find out it's his last, and it will be our last, and I will have to leave end of summer knowing it's our last, and then...

What ifs... they get to you every time.

Today is the blood tests and setting up the schedule for more tests. I am trying to stay positive for him, but inside I'm scared to death. Thank goodness he doesn't read my blog. I don't want him to know I'm scared.

I keep thinking over his comment in the chat room two nights ago. It was the first negative comment I had heard him mention in over a year. That tells me is worried too.

I have to stay positive! This is not doing anyone any good. Okay, pep talk time: the tests will show that nothing has changed, just that he is run down and the colds are a result of pushing himself too hard and his weak immune system. The "c" will still be in remission, and his pancreas will not be consuming itself as the doc thinks. She will be wrong! He will be okay.

He will be okay!

Heard on the television news last night that Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer. My heart went out to him and his wife Lisa. This kind of cancer generally does not have a good mortality rate. However, my mate has been living with it for 11 years now and I know it can be done.

As is typical of the media these days, there were reports that Patrick has only five weeks to live, and detailing how thin he was, how reclusive he has become, and generally burying the man before he's even gone. They all should be ashamed of themselves! This kind of trash reporting is expected of rags like National Enquirer, but honestly, it's it time that those taking upon themselves to report the news actually get off their asses and find out the truth first! If we are going to rely more and more on internet reporting, then those who are doing the reporting had better hike up their britches and learn what real journalism is all about. Get the facts and then report the story. This "instant" reporting is nothing more than gossip mongering. Sadly, the readers are left to wonder when they read some so-called news whether it is truth or not.

Thankfully, the story about Patrick is not as grim as was reported yesterday. According to the latest reports based on statements from his doctor and agent, he is responding well to the treatment, and is not weeks away from death as was reported yesterday.

Positive energy, people! Send the man positive energy! 

Hang in there Patrick, you can beat this! It can be done, and you are not a quitter. You and Lisa are in our prayers.

Keep dancin', babe!
