It’s a very tired day, here in the CatBox.  WWWendy and I got home safely last night, after my infusion.  We are scheduling another infusion, which we may cancel.  In around three weeks I’ll have a CAT-Scan or a PET-Scan to judge whether the immunotherapy is working and go from there.  I did research early this morning and took a long nap.  I’m ready to go back to bed.  Tomorrow is a grocery delivery day.  This evening I plan to try to stay up to watch the slaughter.  You guys had better do so too, in case I don’t make it.  Happy Hump Day!<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>Mike Pence said that he was \u201cextremely grateful\u201d that the organizers of Wednesday night\u2019s Vice-Presidential debate would be providing a plexiglass shield to protect him from a woman.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, Pence said that the Commission on Presidential Debates had taken \u201cappropriate measures\u201d to shield him from exposure to a female during the Salt Lake City face-off. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read all the relevant literature, and from what I\u2019ve learned a plexiglass shield provides adequate protection from a woman,\u201d he said. \u201cKnowing that this barrier exists between me and a member of the opposite sex, I feel comfortable about moving forward with the debate.\u201d <\/p>\n
