     I live in the world of percentages. Decisions are influenced by a named percentage of good and bad outcomes.  Am I in the 50 percent who survive or not?  As I start new treatments the good percentages shrink.  Of course the lived life is different.  Today I am 100 percent alive and feeling good. There is a 90 percent chance of wind and rain today but at this moment it is 100 percent dry.

     My good friends come to visit and we talk health and medicine.  He is a nurse and encourages my medical stories.  I am not sure if he is just being kind or he is actually interested. I love telling stories of my medical experiences.

     This weekend I plan to do my taxes, actually fill out the forms and mail them in.  Being on time is more important than accuracy, although I do try to be accurate. I get messages from the IRS to do my taxes on line but I resist.

     I am still reading NOVEMBER 1942, an intimate history of the turning point of World War 11. It is slow reading and compelling. The news shows are more interesting than any Netflix or Prime show at this time.
