As I had the "suspicious" mole on my face removed, with a neat strip covering the stitches.

The pleasures of the Skin Cancer tango.

And just for measure, I had some non-cancerous lump on my leg called a Hysterical Esis (or it was something like that, my medical jargon was not covered in Hooked on Phonics) which resulted in more carving on my leg and even more stitches.

Observe the dancing frog socks.

We will return to our regularly scheduled planning tomorrow.

-H.

PS-As Angus is in Finland (and thank God he's back home tonight, although my stuffed G-Dog may not be too pleased to be relegated from the bed to the dresser) I saw the latest Star Wars movie last night with Lance, our old roommate. I have to admit...I actually liked it. It was much better than the previous two, but does anyone else find Anakin's switch to the Dark Side to be way too easy? It was like:

Emporer: Anakin, join me on the Dark Side.
Anakin: Mmm....OK. I had nothing better to do this afternoon anyway.

This said from the woman with poor willpower, really. On some days I'd switch to the Dark Side just for a bar of chocolate and a five minute round with my mini-massager.

2 Fear leads to the dark side. On that much, Christians and Jedi Masters agree It may have seemed a little easier than it should have, but he only had two hours and plenty of other loose ends to tie up. But fear does cause people to do things they know are wrong. It may very well be the best of all 6 Star Wars movies. My gripe was the (stop reading and go to the last paragraph if you don't want to know anything about the movie...although this is a minor thing) ease with which the Jedis are killed. These guys deflect "bullets" coming at the speed of light from all directions, and they all got taken out by lame-o Storm Troopers. Come on. The rest of the movie was excellent though. End of "spoiler". My non-spoiling gripe is that I don't think the guy who played Anakin is a very good actor. He seemed very flat in much of his speech. But overall, I think it's the best Star Wars movie of them all. And as they say in Bingo, I hope your suspicious mole is B9.

3 I also thought that Anakin switched over a little too easy. Think of it this way, though. If you knew your spouse was going to die but there was a way to save them AND you would become more powerful AND have a cooler light saber? Hello, Dark Side. Aren't you handsome?

4 Many buckets of sympathy and wishes for happy scarless healing from one tango-dancer to another. I've lost count at this point but it may be in the double-digits. Feel better!

7 hmmm...chocolate and a mini massager? yes please! i'm glad you've got your lumps and bumps removed. after having one of my own removed this year i'm starting to wonder if this is just the beginning of a long line of procedures. oh dear...

8 Hats off to you for taking care of your health! Out of interest have you spoken too a plastic surgeon about ways to minimise the scarring? They have some great adhesives now that I've found to be terrific.

9 I just think that after Anakin killed Mace Windu (dammit you all have seen the movie already!) there was just nowhere else to go. What was he going to say, "About the Jedi leader thing...sorry"? How could he atone for that? He was a Jedi without a job at that point, and this was kind of like taking a job at a smelly fast food place only for a little while as you need to pay off some bills. Then flash forward 20 yers later, you're still there as regional manager. Or something like that. Being a Sith Lord I'm sure has more perks.
