A Cancer Update

Many of you know that I have been fighting cancer since January 2006. Well, I received the news on another CT Scan and once again I am cancer free. Thanks to each of you that have encouraged me with your friendship, your prayers and your many kindnesses too numerous to mention.

Thanks too to all of my blogging friends that have encouraged me and helped keep my spirits up with a joke, a wisecrack or a really wicked pun.

Thanks to my wonderful wife Norma, and my beautiful daughter Jennifer and her Hubster Mike. Now that Jennifer will be presenting me with a grand-baby in late December or early January, you can best believe I'm going to spoil that child rotten. And I'm going to enjoy many, many years of it.

Thanks also and especially to God for keeping me in the palms of his hands.

Bless you George!

In honor of this wondeful event... Why aren't you on the cover of Texas Monthly? If they can put Kinky Friedman there (in a wedding gown) Texas Monthly should be able to feature you on the cover in your hospital gown (with your lily white caboose hanging out!)

Hmmmmm... now where's my Photoshop application... and a picture of the infamous George M. Roper Chia Pet Head?

All my love,

4 Great news! I can barely imagine how stressful and frightening your ordeal has been. I had a minor and insignificant scare with my heart and I was stressed out for months.

9 Fight On! These milestones keep coming GM- and I'm SO grateful to have you with me then, now and for many more years. Now, just because you're older than Mustang and all that doesn't mean you can get all cockey on us! Just because you and Mustang argue over who was alive when the wooly Mammoths roamed the planet...

This is indeed good news, my friend. Congratulations, and may God continue to bless you and yours.

Of course, Raven is correct. I remember you telling me some time back that your first pet was a Wooley Mammoth named Skippy; that he couldn't "fetch" worth a darn.

Semper Fi . . .

Congratulations GM. That is such good news.

Mustang, I though his first pet was named Biff, and it ran away with his first girl friend? but I might be mistaken.

17 Congrats to you, G.M. I'm glad you're still on target to be here for either the glory of the McCain administration or the folly of that other guy, the one we in Missouri call "The Seeker of Oz," that is Mr. "No-Brains, No-Heart, No-Courage"!
