The first dose is in me! Keytruda my new friend is here to help. Yea, back from the big city and the Institute and the Treatment Center and I am feeling pretty good about all this. Now the trick is for us to agree with each other, this drug and me. And I am picking up from my nurse friends that this drug is pretty easy to get along with for most folks. I have my fingers crossed.
Plus I got back at the Treatment Center which I have been away from for the last year and a half while I have been on the self administered pills. So, I get to see the guys and flirt with the nurses. But it is noisy in there, I forgot about that. All those pumps and their alarms and buzzers working nonstop. It’s kind of a scene to avoid if you possibly can.
And here at the ranch I am back to the walk in moments. We are experiencing a little dry spell in the middle of this monsoon so that is nice. Any chance for the surface water to drain off is welcomed right now. This water that is moving winds up traveling downhill to the east to Shawnee Beach and then into Puget Sound where it mixes with the salt water.
So, maybe I will get some company here this morning on the walk. I need some brave souls to walk with. Jim and Jen might be here with their dog Kody. That would be good, we always laugh and laugh. Yup.
Have a good day, what ever you are up to.

Hi Phil,
So good to get the updates! Praying for this new gift of Keytruda!
We are walking with you in spirit here. It has been dry these last weeks and we are trying to walk outside as much as possible on the rimrock trail above Billings where we can see the Beartooth Mountains and the Yellowstone River in the distance.
Curt has been talking about living in the moment and noticing the wonders and blessings of each day and calls it “lowering the threshold of wonder”. I think that is something good that has come out of our pandemic time–slowing down and looking around.
Take care, Phil!

Susan ~ so glad that you guys are making good positive use of this shutdown time. Being outside and paying attention is great and you are doing it together, double great! Well, keep in touch. So glad that you are here with us. Felipé.x
Hi Phil,
I’m hoping, praying for compatibility and effectiveness with you and Keytruda. You mentioned the “monsoons up your way. We’ve had wind, rain and flooding here in Oregon. Still, we haven’t missed a day of walking in the last month. My success is attributable in a big way to an early Christmas gift from my wife- Muck boots. She said (actually knew) I needed them. A little pricey, but so well worth it. Insulated, waterproof, and comfortable. I sometimes go barefoot in them. Well any, my best to you and all.
Curt ~ yes, here’s to Muck Boots. I don’t actually have a pair but they are really popular up here in Seattle, well the outskirts of Seattle anyway. You don’t really need them on sidewalks. A friend told me an old Norwegian saying, “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.” That’s what you are talking about! Yes, the Keytruda, a new adventure. There are many positive reports on this drug coming in from numerous places. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for being here, Felipé.
