Prostate cancer? Perhaps Cedric can shed some light on these, but on the other hand, they might be better stories without the clinical explanations--just the metaphors of egg and cantaloupe to whet our imaginations if not our appetites.

I was issued a summons a month ago for riding my bike on the sidewalk.
