Hey everybody.
As you may or may not know, I moved from Philly to Phoenix exactly one year ago because of a job transfer. I really love it here in the PHX. It feels like home.
If you're in the USA, Philadelphia has been getting a lot of negative press regarding the murders that are occurring lately. Unfortunately, my 43 year old cousin (Joey) was one of the victims last week. He was shot 5 times and laid on the street, dead, for 36 hours according to the police. Still don't know what the motive was, but hopefully someone will eventually face justice.
So, I find a decent rate to fly back east and I end up going to Dulles (outside of DC). My dad lives in Maryland, so he and my brother picked me up at the airport. My dad, not even 5 minutes into the ride, says, "Well, I have some news for you. I have cancer". He has prostate cancer, and he is going in for some more tests this week and next. The good news is that he went for the check-up every year. So, the assumption is that the prognosis will be good for my dad.
Anyway, thanks for taking a few moments to read about what has been happening.
PS: HAVE YOUR PROSTATE CHECKED EVERY YEAR, ESPECIALLY BEGINNING AT AGE 40.
