Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 22

I thought I'd start a new thread for updates on my cancer treatments and whatever else is going on, since the bad news thread title is misleading now.

My last treatment went better than the previous two and my chest wound is still closed up, which is a good thing. My arm is getting slightly stronger and I hope to resume lifting dumbbells next week. I need to build up my strength again, because I am going back to Denmark in May and I am extremely pumped about that! I'd like to be able to schlepp my own checked bag and not have someone else lifting it for me.

It's going to be a fabulous trip, 6 weeks and a couple of days for me. My brother is going along as well as my friends Chipp and Rod. Chipp is staying close to 3 weeks and has not gone with me over there since 2006 so he is also very pumped to be going. It will be Rod's first trip and he will be there for 2 weeks. I will get to be a tour guide. Also, I am throwing a party in my favorite pub of all, the wonderful, ever-magnificent Irish House in Aalborg on May 7th. The owner and I are friends and he will give me a little discount. We'll have Irish stew and brews in the cellar and I hope to have around 25 family and friends there. I might bill it as the "Fu** Cancer Party." A few months back, I was not sure I'd ever be able to go over to Denmark again or if I'd even be alive, but the cancer hasn't gotten me yet. I'm doing a number on it, instead.

Some other cool things I plan to do when I am back in my ancestral lands include a wine tasting in a castle, touring another castle and the northernmost manor home in the country, and visiting Skagen, the top of Denmark, where you can stand on a little patch of beach and have one foot in one sea and one in another. They also have a brewpub up there I am wanting to check out. I will start and end my trip in Aalborg and spend 5 weeks in an apartment I rent that is very close to the beach. I can hardly wait for May 4th to roll around!

This.

Europe = Beer, and lots of it.

I've enjoyed many fine brews since my arrival and it pays to have friends that own a bar/cafe. Sascha told me a distributor brought 6 new beers and she wants my friends and me to try them tonight and give her our reviews. Sascha is a sweetheart, cuter than a button, and a hell of a businesswoman!

Takes me back. Man, I need a Europe trip and right soon.

Glad you're having a great time, you've earned it.

Too late, she ruined it! The plum beer I tried was actually good, though. It was more like a plum cider. I also liked a Bohemian pilsner with apple in it and the apple was very subtle, but a nice touch in a very smooth, consistently flavored beer.

Last night, one of the 20 year old bartenders at the cafe flirted at me. She likes older men and asked me how old I am. I told her I am 47 and she raised an eyebrow, leaned a bit closer and said, "Ohhhh." I thought to myself, stop that mess, little girl. I know what you're trying to do.

I have a good rep in this little village and don't need to ruin it being labeled a cradle robber. Maybe i'll ask her today if her mom is single. Odds are 50-50 that mom is hot, too, right?

**ChiefGator** · 05-16-2015, 04:31 AM

:: chuckle :: Go for it.

Sounds like a damn hoot.. continue having fun for the rest of us..

Lonewolf Ed · 05-16-2015, 11:44 AM

Thanks, I am having a great time. My brother took my picture by a bus outside a monastery we visited built back in 1148. I was making a face and pointing at a sign on the bus reading: TURISTFART. Yep, this tourist has been doing that! In Danish fart means speed or journey and in our rental car, the cruise control is the fart pilot.

Lonewolf Ed · 05-16-2015, 12:22 PM

You can also ask a waitress for some hummer and not get slapped, since it means lobster. You can also step on a klit and not ruin a date, since it means hill!
