Back at It

This week finds Clancy trying to regain his strength and stamina.  He's been working up to 4 hours a day on administrative duties, getting in some time on the treadmill and trying to regain his appreciation for food.  The chemo took away much of his sense of smell and taste.  Combine that with a metallic/solvent taste in his mouth and there's little enjoyment in eating.   Unfortunately, one thing that seems to taste natural is sugar.  Spicy foods are also tasting good these days.  Everything else has texture, but little taste.  Hopefully, it's only temporary and he will regain things fully.

For those of you who have suffered long enough with winter remember: spring training baseball has begun, Little League & Babe Ruth baseball will be holding tryouts soon and the Griz start spring drills on the 21st.  Have faith, the snow will melt one day. 

Clancy has set up a bracket contest for March Madness.  You don't even need to know anything about college basketball or use your real name!  Please join us:   http://madmt.mayhem.cbssports.com/e  Our group password is:  nocancer
