After cancer treatment, I wrote an e-book sharing my approach with others who might benefit. Was available free through Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, others. I pulled it from print with idea of updating but never did. I'm making it available again to anyone interested. Please DM me if you want link.

Good morning #MetsSky. Got to watch Jonah Tong throw & be interviewed yesterday. Little by little we're getting closer to spring training games. Strange day today - pre PET scan diet starts at 12:30. Protein & fiber only & mucho agua! Snowbergs still here. I miss green! Hope you enjoy the day. #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky. Just another cold day sitting around waiting for PET scan & spring training. (Much rather have spring training) I noticed David Robertson announced his retirement. Wonder if he'll get pennant fever in July & want one more September in the sun. I want that sun right now!! #LGM

Cinnamon French Toast decaf & good morning #MetsSky. Tomorrow is groundhog day In Delaware, I doubt the groundhog will be able to break through the ice to tell us anything. That little punk in punxsutawney is going to lie to us anyway, so I don't care. I'm cold, I hate it and I need METS BASEBALL!!

Good morning #MetsSky. Welcome to my iceberg. Under the ice and snow is my backyard. I do hope to see it someday soon. Until then, let's stay warm and think about spring training, which can't come soon enough! #LGM

#Mets signed free agent C Austin Barnes to a minor league contract and with a spring training invite. This is another good depth pick-up. Also, for those who loved the name, some bad news on the pitching front: Dickie Lovelady was picked up by the Nationals.

Good morning #MetsSky. Greeting you from under the covers because it's just too damn cold to be anywhere else right now. Going to venture out for a quick supermarket trip later this morning but nothing else planned for the day. Hope your day is far more interesting & much warmer.

Last thing I want is to monopolize #MetsSky, so final words for now are that PET-CT scan set-up for next Wednesday, and THANK YOU for all the well-wishes. DMs always open if you have specific questions though I might yet have answers. Now, #LGM. Start this spring training already. We need it.

@moiralovesyou.bsky.social Always happy to find another #Mets fan. Welcome to #MetsSky

Morning #MetsSky though not necessarily good. Biopsy indicates lymphoma! I do have Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (in remission, maybe) but this may be a new primary cancer. PET-CT scan coming. Like last time, I plan to treat it & beat it. Even wrote a book about it (no longer in print). Here we go again!

#Mets sign Grae Kessinger to minor league deal, adding more depth to the cadre of backup infielders. These are the signings that make me feel old. I watched his grandfather Don Kessinger play for the Cubs in the 60s & 70s.

Good morning #MetsSky. Rough night, but I have a revised plan to get through the next two days. Once the anesthetic wore off, the fun began. Quoting Phil Rizzuto, "Holy cow!". Hoping to find a few good movies on the streaming services today. Stay warm everyone.

Biopsies done. One set sent for Microbiology, another for Pathology. Will take 1-3 weeks for results. Will have to wait for a while to see if Lymphoma remission is over or if this is some kind of bacteria or something else. Off my feet for a while. Thanks for all the good wishes. Appreciate you all.

Good morning #MetsSky. If you know, you know where I'll be today. Much to do before I go including maybe a little more sleep to make up for what I didn't get overnight. Could use pre- event anxiety as excuse, but what would I use every other night? 😂 Stay warm & safe. Catch y'all when it's all done.

#MetsSky. Even a month after the holiday season has ended #SantaWillie is still on the job

Waiting to hear from doctor. Delaware in Level 2 Driving Ban because everything is iced over. In the event it carries over to tomorrow that means no biopsy. Do I go back to taking the blood thinners. If we do it Wednesday, is one more day off the meds dangerous? Really starting to hate this crap!

Good morning #MetsSky. We're frozen in place. Snow fell, rain froze on everything, then temp dropped. Landscaping crew's here to remove it all. I hope that their done by noon tomorrow so I can head out for the biopsies. They have 326 homes to clear. I don't envy them. Hope y'all are safe & warm.

Good morning #MetsSky. Up since 3:30 am, watching a storm chaser in Ohio on YouTube. I thought to myself "How many other nuts are up watching something like this?". I looked and saw that there were over 7,000 doing the same thing. Still have power, but prepped to bail if needed. Stay safe everyone!

@keithburton16.bsky.social Hi Keith. Always happy to find another #Mets fan.

Good morning #MetsSky. This morning's message is simple and applicable to most of us. Stay warm and safe. If you must go out, be cautious. Take good care of yourselves. #LGM

WHEW! Had option for the biopsy on Monday or Tuesday. Glad I chose Tuesday! Right now,everything around here is being cancelled Monday due to the pending storm. Everyone so often, I guess right! I have all supplies needed for post-care & a charging station at bedside for my phone. OK I'm ready!

Good day #MetsSky. Congrats & THANK YOU Jeff for being part of MetsSky. Grateful to you & to all #Mets content providers who participate here & engage with us. Fans appreciate opportunities to chat with others about our team. Good content helps fuel discussion. Wish there were more like you! #LGM

@crschube.bsky.social Good to see you here. Welcome to #MetsSky. Always happen to have another #Mets content provider among us! #LGM

Here's one version of the #Mets line-up Lindor Soto Bichette Polanco Vientos Alvarez Semien Roberts Benge ... with Baty, Torrens, Taylor on bench and one more spot available. Who do YOU want to take that final spot?

Good morning #MetsSky. Once upon a time, an old curmudgeon in Delaware saw many villagers upset over their team losing players without replacement. He tried to calm them but their angst continued. But as the season approached, the Stearns began to work again & then they all lived happily ever after.

ICYMI: The #Mets signed right-handed reliever Luis García to a one-year, $1.75MM major league deal that can be worth up to $3MM after incentives. Garcia is 39, has played for several other clubs, and can still reach the high 90's in velocity. He throws a four-seamer, sinker, change-up and cutter.

Good morning #MetsSky. Was out early this morning so just catching up on stuff now that I'm home. Watching for a potential heavy storm on the weekend. We'll see. Hope everyone's staying warm! Enjoy a great day.

For those following the "what the hell is going on with that leg", biopsies scheduled for next Tuesday afternoon.

Good morning #MetsSky. Welcome to new #Mets fans. Check my pinned post for some resources that might be helpful and please remember to pin & like the #MetsSky feed. It's going to be an interesting season so be ready to follow along with your fellow fans. Have a great day and stay warm. #LGM

Infectious Disease doctor very nice - and has no idea what this is. Wants biopsies (which my PCP has already said he'd do) and a CAT scan. Will work on scheduling both today. He said this is "an interesting case". I'd so much rather be just another boring guy, but it is what it is. Stay warm!

Good morning #MetsSky from the waiting room. Roads were icy in spots so I'm really early. First time in this building on the southern campus of the hospital - nice, new, shiny & very different from the NY hospitals in which I worked. Wonder where they keep the coffee. Hope everyone's safe & warm.

You'll notice that Peter Schmuck voted for David Wright for HOF last year, but ignored him this year, even though he only voted for 7 players, so he had room for three more. It is my official opinion that Peter Schmuck is aptly named. #MetsSky #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky. What a difference a day makes. Anyone's faith in the front office rekindled just a little? There's still work to do between now & opening day to see how the roster shapes up. You know Stearns is constantly moving pieces on the board. From one of the great classic movies ...

Correction: Make that ONE particular Phillies fan.

Just in case you were wondering how the Phillies were responding to the Bo Bichette story, I offer you Brodes Media for your evening entertainment. youtu.be/B0Tf8w5s-lc?...

Testing done. Out to lunch, but paying attention.

In waiting room. Baty is the guy Red Sox wanted for Duran. Wonder if that's back on the table again.

I'm starting to see something about #Mets signing Bo Bichette? Anyone else seeing this?? (Am I breaking news on #MetsSky ?)

To those who disagree with me, it's all good. We're fans talking baseball. There will always be disagreement and that's fine. Respectful dissent is part of the deal. #LGM #MetsSky. It's never personal.

It's morning #MetsSky, but not necessarily a good one. Congratulations to those who handled last night's news without trashing the front office. My pivot is that I can move on, await the next move and root for my team. Appreciating those who remain optimistic. Ultrasound today. #LGM NO MATTER WHAT.

The contract numbers are insane. I'm sure the anti-Stearns crowd will have a field day, not like they need an excuse. As I said in my article in our #MetsSky blog the other day, these deals are not sustainable. I fear that with this contract, we've taken a giant step toward a lockout in 2027.

Just shut up, Charley. Just zip the lip, hold the tongue, seal the lips, save your words. You've got the ability to summon up all the restraint you need, so just keep it together & shut the hell up. There's willpower in that aging body somewhere. Find it & use it. You'll be much happier in the end.

Good morning #MetsSky. Cold windy day on the Delmarva! I do have to leave the house to do a quick clubhouse job this afternoon. Other than that, a good day to drink coffee, catch up on a lot of desk work and wait for Kyle Tucker news. Hope everyone stays warm and safe. Enjoy the day! #LGM

Here's my latest article on our #MetsSky blog. Little Thoughts about Big Deals metssky.com#blog/zZ76xap... I continue to look forward to reading the thoughts of my fellow fans. I hope some of you will pick a subject, put a few thoughts together and share them through our website.
