Joy 05/04/2022

 One of my continuing joys is, like most of you, food. 



 
Today we met with our good friends Kent and Leslie at the restaurant Steelbach at the Armature Works in Tampa. Steelbach is a really nice steak house. We started our dinner with drinks. Kent had his on the rocks you know "with an ice cube", Jan and Leslie shared a nice bottle and I went crazy and had a lime in my unsweetened ice tea.

For dinner we shared a few sides; broccoli, mushrooms and sweet potatoes. They were quite good. and for my meat I chose lamb chops. 

My grandmother Meme always liked lamb and that is where I think I got my affinity for lamb. They were very good and when they came I was surprised at how much they gave me. 

I have to thank Leslie for the photos. I am always so excited when dinner arrives I never take pictures. I think Leslie had to swat away my fork so she could capture the picture of my chops before I dug in!

I'm beginning to realize I've got about as much order in my life as I want. I have found that my most creative ideas come from the chaos around me. So L'm going to take a different route. Last night I was watching "The Hobbit" and thought a quest is what I need.  A quest is what it is then. But unfortunately there is no Smaug for me to battle. Using Bilbo Baggins and the Hobbits as my guide on this quest I decided that meals should be part of this retirement quest. Here is my plan. A Quest " Seafood Resturants I'm Goina Eat At "  Some of these places I have already eaten at but they deserve a second try. Others are new to me and ...

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...
