After a long interruption, last Weds I finally got to join Maggie at The Spa for a visit with Dr. Loukas. He reported what we instinctively know - she’s doing great. He was very pleased that she hadn’t experienced any debilitating side-effects common with the new chemo regimen and was happy about her blood counts. […]

Wow! We have so much to be thankful for this year! Top of the list is our health, our friends and our family. Ignoring, if just for a bit, the elephant in the room, we are healthy, happy and doing great. And in those past times this year when we weren’t, our friends and family […]

A very good friend of mine claims that bad things come in groups of threes. Since Friday we’ve wracked up two pretty solidly crappy events each leaving me with a sick feeling. Worse, I worry, when’s the next one coming? I’m not looking for it, really, but if it’s coming let’s get ‘r done.

This weekend was pretty yucky with the unpleasantness peaking probably yesterday. I say “probably” because I actually don’t know. I wasn’t here with Maggie but was, instead, studying all day. I do know that the two times I talked briefly to her via phone she sounded pretty low. Thank you, Martha, for taking good care […]

Thank you to everyone who voted for Proposition 15. It passed and no doubt your vote will save a life or, at minimum, will help give more than a few people a little bit more time to spend with loved ones… eventually. Thank you.

Tuesday, November 6th is the big election. Please vote, no matter what you vote for. Voting is both your privilege and responsibility. If you don’t vote someday someone is going to take that privilege away from you. “No!” you say? “It can’t happen,” you protest? How do you think Spain-owned toll roads in Austin got […]

Thinking back on this year a number of dates stick out as uniquely memorable - the day we were diagnosed, the day before surgery when we snuck Niko into the hospital, the day we visited Baylor for the class photo, the day we laid on the floor in the bathroom for more than an hour […]
