I'm Not Dead Yet

"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." -- Mark Twain

Life has been rough but I'm planning on sticking to it for a few more decades. I still have cancer. It's moved to my liver. The chemo is working but it leaves me sick, in pain, nauseous, tired, and with a constant bad taste in my mouth. And I'm bald. But I have friends and family supporting me all the way and I'll be whipping this stupid disease in 2010. One more operation and a few more chemo treatments.

I'll be working on making this blog work better and continue in my absence when I go to the hospital. I'm sorry if I've let any of you down. If you want to start a new blog you have my blessings and I will add a link to it in the side panel.

I hope things will improve soon and that I don't let you down in the future.

Love, Mike - your wayward host.

Where Is Mike R. Baker?

What is UP with our HOST???

I am back! I return, the prodigal son, sheepishly with hat in hand. I am so sorry for keeping you all waiting and in the dark about what was happening with me and Monday Artday. I was sick from radiation therapy and couldn't bear to approach the Internet. But I feel good now and I'm here to make amends.

Let's draw! I have a new challenge for you all today and winners for the Werewolf and Chicken challenges. I also want to thank all of you for your concern and especially Gunther for stepping up in my absence. You are all awesome.
