I hadn't added any to my collection the last 3 years for reasons most of you know about but the bug has hit me again.
I’m glad to hear the bug has bit again. Perhaps a sign of feeling better/stronger and having more energy for fun things.
I hope that you enjoyed a very Merry Christmas with your family and wish you a Fantastic New Year!

It's been a while since I have posted in this thread. Things are going OK so far, the masses are stable and not growing. In fact, one of them in my lungs has become small enough as to not show on a CAT scan. My doctors refer to my condition as stable. It doesn't really get better than that given what I have.
I am still doing the Nivolumab infusion every 2 weeks.
That said, I am in the high risk group for the Corona virus, being 64 and a cancer patient, so I have decided to limit my activities and stay home as much as I can for the next month or so.
My daughters tell me they will run errands for me where crowds are present like the grocery store.
I really do not want to succumb to the panic many seem to have, but I do think I should follow professional medical advice.
I did have some sort of virus about 3 weeks ago and still have some effects from it, namely a sore throat that comes and goes. Oh well, kinda normal for winter time.
There is the update about me in case some have wondered why I haven't posted recently.
Don't sell stocks. When this is over, I really think a huge rebound will come.

lbj: I have a similar situation--67, COPD and a bit of a heart condition, hospitalized in January for two weeks with pneumonia and several other bacterial infections. I had already decided to avoid exposure before Corona became a thing, more because of flu than anything. I'm staying in until the end of March.
Hang in there!

Tom, I am really glad to hear that you are doing well and living your best life (as the kids say).
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Thanks all.
Here is Miles with one of his dinosaurs. The photo was taken on January 30th. He is 2 years 8 months old and 36 pounds.
It's so great to have lived long enough to see and do this grandparent thing.
Miles and his mom moved to small house recently from their apartment. Neighbors were complaining about the noise and things. Now he can make all the noise he wants and stomp around with wild abandon. You know, be a kid.

Awesome picture. Glad you are doing well. I’m hopeful that the whole Coronavirus situation will settle down and be a lot less than many think, but we are still being cautious even though we are not high risk. Better to be too cautious than not cautious enough. I suspect you’re right about the market. It would have been great to have cashed out at the peak and to be buying back in now and over the next little bit, but it’s a buyer’s market now, not a seller’s.

Here is a great worship song for us Believers. It's one of my favorites. It's by Darlene Zschech who is a Pentecostal pastor and wrote the song.

^^^^^ I'm glad you posted that, lbj! I was searching a crossword answer this morning, "Agnus Dei", and found this on Youtube. Yeah...worshiped right there in my office chair.
