Have you had a mammogram recently? http://www.breastcancer.org/ has information about breast cancer, screening, research and treatment. I had my snowy pearls examined this morning as part of this year's health screening... in addition to blood work to check my cholesterol levels and blood glucose. I'm fortunate to be a healthy middle aged woman, and to have access to health care. Not everyone is as lucky.
This weekend we will be participating in a 24 hour fiddle marathon in conjunction with the Relay for Life. A group of dedicated fiddlers will be combining efforts to play tunes for a full day, starting from 10:00am on Saturday the 5th until 10:00am the 6th. There is still plenty of room for more fiddlers and more backup musicians (guitar, mandolin, keyboard etc) Contact thordude@surfbest.net for more information. This is a very worthy cause! We will be helping to organize a dance Saturday evening as part of this event, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm... Come and listen to tunes anytime during the day, dance in the evening, or sponsor a fiddler. We all appreciate all types of support.
For anyone wondering, a mammogram is not painful. There is some discomfort and pressure, but it isn't anything horrid... and it is quick. My entire visit from checking in until I left the building was less than a half hour... the actual mammography only lasted a few minutes. If you've resisted having yours done, for whatever reason, I recommend you JUST DO IT... for yourself, for those you love, and those who love you.
Snowy Breasted Pearl is a nice tune from the New England Fiddler's Repertoire.
