I have never been a big birthday guy. No need for cake or candles. Give me a nice drink, good company and a quiet setting.
Still, the last two years have been the most meaningful birthdays of my life. My post-surgical diagnosis was I wouldn't see 60.
You see, when prostate cancer escapes and spreads, that "easy" cancer to beat becomes a demon. I was 54 and the demon was loose inside.
Last June 1 was my 60th birthday. Sunday was my 61st. This isn't borrowed or stolen time. This is a blessing. And here I am, beating the odds, praying more, drinking less and rarely out of the company of my two dogs and/or my grestest blessing, my wife.
Men, if you're 45 or older, please ask your doctor to score your PSA (prostate specific antigen). It's sime blood test and the best tool we have for early detection of prostate cancer. And the sooner you catch it, the better.
Please score that PSA and avoid a life of exhaustion, incontinence, erectile dysfunction or eventual death.
No, these aren't bonus birthdays. They are gifts from God, and added time to shout my message from the mountain tops. All I ask is you lend me your mountain top and spread this message. 🙏❤️🤙
Kansas State star quarterback Avery Johnson is currently considered unlikely to play this week against Colorado due to an injury, sources tell @CBSSports.
Would be the second straight missed game for Johnson, who missed the team’s game vs. Arizona State last week.
@scottwildcat That's shameful, Scott. I have one vote and I cast it the old Irish way, tending to my elders. After I vote, I help seven dead relatives vote, too.
@MWinters_Rocks Repeatedly rolled ankle, torn hamstring and Barnett was in a knee brace at one point but he may also have a pulled muscle. And then there’s Avery mystery. The first three are common injuries. Just not common all at once.
@ShawnPecenka Actually both are close so they may be the two available in some form but don’t write off Knuth, either. That boot may be a precaution to let it heal without further stress.
We may not win the @Big12Conference (or even be .500) but I can live with the effort this team gives. Well-coached. Maximum effort. Refreshing. Buy stock on #CaseyAlexander
🚨 Pat McAfee GOES OFF on the University of Utah 😳
He says he’s never felt so uncomfortable, even bringing up what happened at UVU last year.
“I did not enjoy the University of Utah.”
HOLY SMOKES 💀
@CHIEF444176@DerekYoungKSO Barnett was injured playing. He came in before Knuth in the Nichols game. Duff was injured in practice before the season. Duff now might be the healthiest option remaining.
