![]() That's one of my favorite web pages. Lately a statement Roald Dahl made in 1988, two years before he died, about the death of his daughter from measles in the early 1960s, has been making the rounds: http://www.roalddahlfans.com/articles/meas.php I wish I believed in hell, because it would be comforting to know there would a place waiting for "Dr." Andrew Wakefield.

![]() Been waiting for a cancer vaccine, but once we get it, how many would refuse to take it?
30%? 40%? 50%?

too bad people don't know their history and don't realize what it used to be like before vaccines.

Had a good friend who for some time was ignoring symptoms of colon troubles, blood in stools, intermittent pain, only when he finally went in to the ER a colonoscopy revealed colon cancer however because of his colon's condition it had leaked causing sepsis putting a strain on his kidneys and liver. He got over the sepsis or so they thought and started chemo to treat the colon cancer. His body immediately rejected the chemo, his kidneys stopped working and he suffered irreparable liver damage. His best outcome at that time was to get the kidneys working enough to allow chemo in an attempt to rid himself of cancer only to get on a liver transplant list. It didn't work and two weeks ago to this day he was moved home and given one to two months to live. Perhaps for the best he lasted only two days, one taking visitors and the last day sleeping. He was only 46 and was one of those great guys you luckily meet from time to time. His nickname 'EZ' said it all. Ladies and gentlemen especially the latter, visit a Dr. when you know something is wrong and take no day for granted. RIP Eric 'EZ' Cowley ![]()

When I saw him the day he got home it was apparent it was going to be days and not months. At least he got to spend his last two days on earth at home, looking out at the forest that served as his backyard, surrounded by family and friends including his best friend Lulu, his dog, who he hadn't seen in 6 weeks. And somehow it felt more like a coming home party rather than funeral or wake. He did somehow die with a smile on his face and it was apparent he was at peace on his last day. But that wasn't surprising considering it was Captain EZ!
