A great tribute to your proactive approach and your ability to translate the work out there to so many of us. You are way ahead of the typical medical reporting curve and providing education that is practical.

Thanks, JRW. I appreciate the kind words. Female journalists with breast cancer led the way on tackling the issues of breast cancer and advancing research on breast cancer. What mem do seems to lag. But in the case of prostate cancer, I am happy my journalism may be helping other men with prostate cancer. If I can win a writing award for this unusual form of advocacy, I accept the award ... gleefully... HNW

In addition to what Howard has done for men with prostate cancer, there are even more men like me who do not have prostate cancer but are still in the need to learn as much as we can to prepare ourselves for what may occur in the future. The information provided by Howard does that. JRW

Bravo, Howard! If you send me the names of the judges and the other finalists I either (or both) send discrete envelopes to the former or poke needles in my voodoo doll collection for the latter. Er, assuming I can remember which is which.

I adlibbed my way as a journalism lecturer for eight years at Northwestern. So why not?

If there were a Pulitzer Prize for adlibbing, I am certain you would already have it.

BTW, nice use of the subjunctive.

I am pretty sure I have never heard the word "subjunctive" before, and I certainly didn't know what it meant. So, I looked it up. I still don't have any idea what it means, but I do appreciate that Howard thought it was nice of me to make that comment.

You applied it. Good job, Fred. "If I were" vs. "if I was."
