Christmas on Gaston Avenue

We didn't spend much time on Gaston Avenue on Christmas Day. Instead we headed way north to my sister's house in the 'burbs which border Oklahoma. But while I was filling up the car with gas on Gaston Avenue on a brisk cool Christmas morning, I heard a conversation across the street that warmed my heart. Three Gaston Avenue regulars hanging out near a bus stop were all calling each other motherfuckers.
I'm not sure why I've added a the cover of John Lennon's Rock & Roll album to this post. But I did.

It's going to be OK

Karen's cancer is back. I never though I would have to say those words.
The only thing good about this is at least we know why she's been in excrutiating pain for the last four months and why her left arm is almost completely paralyzed.
She has a tumor in a nerve center in her shoulder called the braxial plexus. It can't be removed because if a surgeon cut on it, she could become paralyzed about five different ways. So it's back to chemotherapy.
As you would imagine, all of this horrible shit was on my mind when this came into veiw. It made me feel a little better.
