My condolences as well, Tide. So good that you got to spend quality time with him before he passed.

So sorry to hear about his passing, Tide. No matter how long the life it always seems like it is too soon to say goodbye.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King Jr.
So sad to hear about your family's loss, Tide.
"We do not need any other Tutankhamun's tomb with all its treasures. We need context. We need understanding. We need knowledge of historical events to tie them together. We don't know much. Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011
Tide - our thoughts & prayers are withyou buddy.
You'll remember that last trip for a long time and it will make you smile.

I'm having Moh's procedure on the tip of my nose tomorrow. About a month ago, a fleshy thing grew in that location, and it grew fast. The biopsy showed that it could be cancer, so the area will be excised tomorrow. As long as they don't decide that a hole punch is the best implement, I should be OK and cancer-free.
One of the contractors asked what the doctor's long term instructions will be, which is sunscreen and a hat from now on. He suggested that I wear a pair of gag glasses that have a nose attached to shade my nose.![]()

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)

Thanks for the well wishes. The procedure went well; I had one Moh's cut. The repair wasn't what I expected. The doctor made an incision along the side of my nose and pulled the skin down and over the original incision. I didn't ask how many stitches but there's going to be a long scar. I have a big bandage for the next few days and my nose hurts. I can only think that the worst is over.
Giff, I'm glad your procedure went well. Ursus, this bandage won't fit under a gag nose.
