Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Southbound

In a few weeks I’ll be heading off to Charlotte, NC for the AIM For A Cure Melanoma Walk. I wish that everyone I’ve “met” in the online melanoma community were able to attend, but know that’s just not practical for so many of you. We’ll be walking (and hoisting a pint or two in a toast) for everyone at The Hotel Melanoma.

With thanks to all of the generous donors who’ve sponsored me, or one of the other Charlotte walkers, I’ll leave you with a slightly altered version of The Allman Brothers Band’s “Southbound”…



Well, I'm Southbound ... Lord I'm takin’ AIM at you
Lord, I'm Southbound, Black C ... Lord I'm takin’ AIM at you
I got that old sun C feelin' that's sometimes called the blues

Lord, I been bloggin' every night ... oh facebookin' every day
Lord, I been bloggin' every night .. whoa facebookin’ every day
Oh, I can tell you there’s a plan ... sweet vict’ry’s on the way
Oh, you better believe
Well, I'm Southbound
Lord, I'm Southbound, Black C
Oh, you better make some other plans ... sweet vict’ry’s on the way

Got your hands full now, Black C ... oh as soon as we raise some more
Got your hands full now, Black C ... yeah as soon as we raise some more
Well, we’re gonna walk it all up for you ... for all the cures you should have had before

Well, I'm goin' Southbound
Oh, Southbound, Black C
Ohhhh ... I'm rollin' Southbound
Yeah, Black C ... walk it all up for you ... ohhhh ... the cures you should had before
