The photographer behind the window pane
I've not been unhappy. I've not been under any "unnecessary" stress.
I realized this week I'm numbing myself. It was nasty and vile - freezing rain and sleet and I had to go to work. A lot of my work is outside. I set my mindset to deal with the weather and surprisingly I discovered just have physically ill I'd become.
Radiation treatment isn't supposed to make you sick! Is it? I don't know.
I realized, in bed this morning is that less is less is meaning anything to me. My dog and my friends and my special friend but it takes effort to keep that in place. I've been here before and it's a constant war. Total apathy is a disease.

I think no one should worry about me until I stop showing an interest in football and baseball!
Last week i was 11-4 (15-0 against the spread) and in the contest I'm in that was good enough to finish 492nd!! . . .
It knocks me down to 150th for the season . . . I'm not sure that 3 weeks is enough time to fight up to second and with the fancy expresso machine!
Still - I persevere.
Home teams are listed first and my picks are in bold.
Houston v Arizona Cruddy game of the week. Would be cruddy game of the year except San Francisco and Houston meet next week!
New Orleans v Carolina The Panthers are not Super Bowl Contenders but they still have enough talent to demolish the demoralized Saints and a back up QB. Hey, I LIKE AARON BROOKS!
Miami v New York Jets Candidate for cruddy game of the week. But I like the Jets, I like their heart. But I picked the Dolphins cause they stink less.
St Louis v Philadelphia How odd that this has more cruddy game connotations than it should.
Minnesota v Pittsburgh Brad Johnson has singlehandedly stabilized the Vikings but Mike Tice is a cruddy coach, worse in the league after Denny Greene. I'll stick with Cowher in a must win game for both teams.
Indianapolis v San Diego I don't think the Colts are indestructible. They have plenty of holes that makes them look better in the diminished talent pool. San Diego and Tomlinson could exploit the main weakness (Line Backers) and they have the D to rattle Manning's cage in a must win for them. But you can't pick against an undefeated team especially with the nasty scheduling the Chargers have had to deal with.
Tennessee v Seattle Poor Steve McNair. Shaun Alexander is finally getting some national attention. An uninteresting game except to partisans.
Jacksonville v San Francisco Most interesting to see what crazy Smith does with the football. The 49ers might take Linehart with their number 1!
Detroit v Cincinnati Juron had his mercy week and his team didn't respond. Carson Palmer and the Bengals are loose and having fun. That makes them very dangerous.
Oakland v Cleveland One of those games to avoid. These are two bad unpredictible teams. Go with Cleveland as being more relaxed.
Washington v Dallas An interesting game. I'm going with the declining Redskins even after watching Bledsoe try and keep the mediocre Cowboys in contention.
Chicago v Atlanta The game of the week and it's national on ESPN. I like the Bears to bust it up and win or lose you figure the score will be 12-6. I'm guessing that the Bears will get the 12 but it could go either way. Lots of fun!
