State of the Ape XXXVIII
Once more: thank you for your prayers.
Health news: I had blood work done on the 18th. My PSA went up again, but the rate slowed even further.

If the trend had continued as it was before I went on the new drug, I estimate (roughly) that my PSA would now be somewhere between 11 and 12; so 6 isn’t bad.
We met with my oncologist on the 24th: we’re sticking with the current treatment. We’ll see what things look like in August.
Writing: I’m making progress: currently in the middle of Chapter 19. I’ve also been doing more thinking about Edwina 4.
Edwina 2 is still in limbo.
You didn’t think you were going to get away without clerihews, did you?
Attila the Hun
Wasn’t very much fun.
Sacking a city
Always moved him to pity.
As Julian the Apostate
Slowly defrosted,
He resolved to be more chary
Of sun-worship in January.
Although J. R. R. Tolkien
Got a good soaking,
He kept his head in the crisis,
And they fished him out of the Isis.
