This afternoon I met with my haematologist to discuss the results of my CT scans taken just this past Wednesday. It was a good appointment.
Only radiologists can make good news sound so clinical:
"Previously noted enlarged lymph nodes in bilateral upper neck at levels II through V now normal in size."
"Interval decrease in size of bilateral axillary lymph nodes. No new concerning abnormality."
My lymph nodes are back to normal! Six months of chemotherapy has kicked this SLL (small lymphocytic lymphoma) to the curb, for now at least. According to the doctor, I'm in remission and can expect to stay that way for some time.
Good riddance!
I really liked everything about Nick's fighter and didn't want to change it much. I think I kept most of his features, layout, and even coloring, but did it all in my style of building which is quite a bit different than Nick's. Follow the evolution of the fighter in the forum.

When we were discussing options for this year's autumn hiking adventure, it almost seemed like there was nothing left in northern Scandinavia that we all still wanted to explore. However, after some discussions, we realized that Finnish Lapland might be an interesting and convenient location for our regular autumn outdoor pursuits.
After conducting some research and planning, we narrowed our focus to Finland's northwest, bordering Sweden and Norway. More specifically, we honed in on the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, which happens to be the second-largest wilderness area in Finland.
-----
Käsivarsi is somewhat atypical for Finland due to its higher elevation (Finland's highest peak, Halti (1,324m), is located in its northern tip), rugged terrain, and limited wooded areas. This combination sounded particularly attractive to us because it meant we would hike across various types of landscapes, both on and off marked trails.
Our itinerary was as follows: Kilpisjärvi/Saana mountain -> Tshahkaljärvi lake -> Siktagurajohka river -> Meekonjärvi lake including trip to Pitsusköngäs waterfall -> Porojärvi lake including ascent of Saivaara cliff -> Guhturgurajávri/Termisjärvi lakes -> Ailakkajärvi lake -> Kilpisjärvi.
"I still think that a small lightening charge through the cue would aid your shot Mr Solo!" advised Thor.
"I don't know, Thor. I'm pretty sure it'd have some disastrous consequences!" replied a worried Captain Solo.

WEEK 37 – Covington Kroger Closing, Set 1
I discussed a few descriptions back the construction of script décor, specifically as compared to millennium; but in this description I’d like to focus more on the actual look of the décor, and all the different elements that go into making it, well, what it is. As I told you earlier, the official name for the package is “Flagship Script,” meaning that this is one of the few examples of where our fan-originated name comes very close to the real thing! And it’s easy to see why that’s the case, too; obviously, the script font used for all the interior signage is a feature that stands out very prominently.
Besides that, you’ve got the columns, discussed previously, which are colored in white and adorned with red diamonds, and some additional stripes that complement the also-aforementioned border stripes that circle the rest of the walls in the store. Those stripes are colored in various shades of tan or beige, and taken altogether the entire color scheme – green for the signage and certain delineating lines, red for the diamonds and other small accents, and the various beiges/tans – definitely presents a very classy aesthetic. Throw in some wallpaper and woodgrain for texture (see the Kroger logo hanging in the corner in the distance), and voilà, you’ve got yourselves some script décor!
I’m curious to know – what’s your opinion on this package? For me, as I shared before on Discord, the best way I can describe it is that script décor is perfectly inoffensive. That is to say, it’s not my favorite, but it also has no bad qualities to it, nor does it feel overly dated. In fact, even though I associate it very much with the mid-2000s simply because I know it hails from that era, I think it feels more or less kinda timeless. The same certainly can’t be said for millennium! And yet, I’ve always liked millennium so much better; in fact, before just recently, when it became super endangered, I had never really sought out to photograph any script décor stores. It’s weird… I like it, but it’s definitely not one that I have much experience with or attachment to. I can see it and recognize it’s well done, but I don’t feel any excitement from it. Hence… perfectly inoffensive.
(Now granted, the rarer it’s become, the more I’ve grown to be excited about script. But you get my point – taken as a whole, it’s something I can appreciate, and even like, but it just doesn’t really do much for me, not like other décors anyway.)

Discussing the Queen's Gambit with the Queen prior to a match. Not sure if what I was saying sank in or not as I explained what a terrific television show it was.
Some more photos from the weekend's Cymera Festival, this time the always-excellent Ken MacLeod, with Harry Josephine Giles (whose work was written in Orcadian), and Adam Oyebanji in the Pleasance Theatre, discussing their works.
So good to be back to in-person literary festivals again (also so good to see people I hadn't seen in person in far too long)
While I’ve discussed my ideas about what to do going forward with flickr’s changes to free accounts on the horizon, I’ve finally come to a decision. My content from here out will now be hosted on a new blog, called My Florida Retail (not much there just yet, but please check it out, as there will be more to come soon!). As My Florida Retail gets started, I’ll start off by transferring over all the flickr content that doesn’t make the cut to stay on here once the 1,000 photo limit goes into effect. However, if you click on the link to the new blog, you can read all the details about how the new blog will work. An AFB Facebook page is still in the planning stages for those interested, although the new blog will be my primary way of sharing photos with everyone. I felt a blog was the best way for everyone to enjoy my photos without the restrictions of having to get a Facebook account, and I’m used to Blogger’s format and pickiness anyway! As I’ve said before, I’m not going to leave flickr entirely. My flickr account will remain active so I can continue to interact with all those who choose to stay on here. I will go through and trim down my flickr account to be under 1,000 photos once the deletion deadline gets closer (as I’m going to wait as long as I can to see if flickr may change their minds on something). I have an idea of what I will keep on flickr and what I won’t, although more detail on that will come early next year. For now, please remember to follow My Florida Retail or add it to your bookmarks so you can see my photos going forward. Unlike the original AFB (which for the most part has a pre-established posting schedule), My Florida Retail posts will not be following any particular posting schedule right now. With that in mind, I’ve set up My Florida Retail to where you can subscribe to get email alerts of new posts sent directly to you, so you’ll never miss a new post (how convenient!). So that’s the future of AFB on flickr. More details on a potential Facebook page and what content will stay on my flickr account will come out in the coming weeks.

The Grand Rapids Eastern crew talks with the crew of CSX's Y597 as they figure out a game plan for their interchange. Y597 has a few cars of miscellaneous freight plus 50 empty coal gons for the GRE. It was decided that the CSX crew would first deposit the freight at the west end of Fuller yard, then pull the train of coal gons west until clear of the interchange switch. #24 would then tie on and head east. The CSX crew would actually push them a little ways east of the diamond and cut off on the fly. The only time I've ever witnessed helper service on the GRE!
