If Black Friday Hype Annoys You, Then Don’t Shop!

I have re-published an article from Jonathan Copsey at the Milton Herald which describes how Northside Hospital, which is only 20 minutes away from where I live, but ironically, not where I received my BMT transplant, has just been named as having the highest survival rates of any bone marrow transplant facility in the United States.

My birthday wish is for you to read this post!

My son is starting pre-k and I am having mixed feelings about the transition. A recent experience showed that while not even 5 years old yet, he is already starting the transformation from living in his own wonderful imaginative little world, to living in the big world where peer pressure and influence really does make a difference.

“Haven’t you ever been to a beach?” This is the question I was asked as a follow up to the numerous questions I had about visiting Ocean City, Maryland prior to our family vacation. I learned over the course of 4 days, that although I have indeed been to beaches, I had never been to one like this.

It’s been a busy, busy time since I last wrote. And I will apologize in advance for the length of this entry, but if you have enjoyed my blog in the past, I encourage you to take the time to read this entry. May was a month of loss, and June opened with my bike ride around Lake Tahoe.
