At www.micksjourney.com I post a blog on a regular basis. Below is an index of current blog posts to date, along with a link directly to the post.
Index of Blog Posts
For those of you NOT familiar with me or my style of writing, I tend to write with a bit of a humorous slant to otherwise serious issues. While there are some posts that remain very serious in their content, the majority of my posts, while educational, are also interspersed with my warped look at cancer and my journey. (While reviewing some of my past blogs, I learned that I need to do a better job at proof-reading!)
