The Whyte House has High-Definition

Good evening. After taking Joe Whyte to the Cablevision store this afternoon, the folks now officially have 'High-Definition' television. The new television is working great. My Mom loves the picture while my Dad is clueless. Of course the DVR function isn't working, but I will fix that after Christmas.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas (or Hanukkah for my Jewish friends!)

The MRI was a snap this past Sunday. I will find out the results of my treatments on Friday, 12/26 and Monday, 12/29, when I meet with my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist, respectively.

And finally on a lighter note. I think I've come up with a new nickname for my father. For those of you that know him, he is a 'creature of habit' and not susceptible to change. Hence, I've told him he is like a 'U.S. Carrier Battle Group' -- it takes a U.S. Aircraft Carrier and its supporting ships quite some time to turn in the ocean -- and I think the analogy fits. Hence, I've started to call him Carrier Battle Group Whyte -- it takes him some time to change, IF AT ALL!?! (He's still the best though: and, the best Firefighter the City of Bridgeport has ever seen; and the best High School Baseball Umpire in the State of Connecticut!)
