    Thanks, Denise. I am off to surgery Tuesday. Today, I'm on clear fluids only, and my morning caffeine without milk is better than nothing! I am resigned to the surgery; I'm sure I will survive it. It's the recovery and adjustment to what it's like to lose a length of colon that is unnerving. Oh well. I'm in good health and fit condition, and I remain optimistic this new cancer was found early and mine will be a "one and done" treatment. Congratulations on KC's win last night. It was a good game. It's 12 degrees this morning where I am. Hope to get a walk in later...if we can bear it. Best wishes to all, Oldbeauty
