Have you ever ridden a bike 7 miles? Ever done that in the cold, uphill the whole time,while hungry and exhausted from riding 70 miles just before the uphill. Seeing friends give up and get off their bike because it’s to hard. That is what cancer feels like.
Please read this story about some very brave and selfless friends of mine whose months of training and preparation will be put to the test in a few short weeks.
If you do come here often, then I suggest you seek additional forms of entertainment. For anyone who had become used to my frequent but irregular blogging back during the Cancer days, you might think that my blog stopped working, or that I forgot how to type, or maybe even that I had died and … Continue reading »
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.

Good news: Lots of good news has come in this week. My sister sent Dominic an awesome little Hodkins Lymphoma awareness t-shirt that says, “My Daddy is my hero.” Thanks Laura.

I have figured out what I want to be when I grow up…a tourist. Vacation is great…and I am talking about real true vacation. Not staycation, not take some vacation days to catch up around the house, but real true leave home, don’t watch the news, disconnect from reality, eat out every meal even if … Continue reading »

Yesterday was not a bad day, but not exactly fun, and definitely exhausting. We flew from Atlanta to Fresno, California with a 2 hour layover in Los Angeles. Spending nearly six total hours in an airplane with a 2 year old takes it toll on a person. Don’t get me wrong, he was pretty good, … Continue reading »

If you don’t know my mother-in-law Renita, then you don’t know that she has the same no-nonsense, get-to-the-point take on life that Angela does. So, it should be no surprise that she publicly called me out on this site for taking over 5 days to make a new posting that my previous post said would … Continue reading »

Had my fifth chemo treatment on Monday and so far all is well. It is leaving my mouth feeling funny, my skin itchy and my hair is still gradually falling out piece by piece. I don’t have much to say about this one. I am trying to take it easy this week because I pushed … Continue reading »

It’s going to happen. At the urging of some close family and friends, I am taking some time off and going to enjoy a few days of down time. I haven’t really done much of that since all this started aside from a few treasured days at the park. But tomorrow morning, I am loading … Continue reading »

Dominic is fighting a cold this week. Sadly, one of the symptoms he developed mid week was that of mucous coming out the corners of his eyes. We thought it was pinkeye, but his doctor says it is not and that it is part of the cold. Anyway, when he sleeps at night, a lot … Continue reading »

What a crazy day last Sunday was. Laura and Ray came to visit for the weekend.
