Some Updates

Just wanted to follow-up on a few recent blogs today. I'm sitting down for a bit after a window and plantation blind cleaning session (man did they need it). Barb just jumped out of the second bathroom covered in paint. Yesterday she was covered in drywall dust. (I really should have had my camera ready!) I really am in awe and of great respect with how she's going at the renovation of that bathroom.

And speaking of Barb...her attempt at making the world's greatest pecan pie fell just short. She made the second best pecan pie of all-time. The only problem, by her own admitance, was the crust was too thick. Other than that...well all I have to say is the pie is gone. Yummy. Barb is already planning her second attempt. She did pretty outstanding for her first pecan pie ever.

And then there is Freckles the cat. He's in full shed right now, which at this point means he has giant clumps of hair hanging off him. The clumps of hair resemble rabbit's feet. You can tell that Freckles is very uncomfortable with all of this, and petting him in the wrong spot hurts him and leads to a quick snarl. As the clumps begin to fall off, Barb and I will begin to suddenly find little "rabbit's feet" laying around the house. In the meantime Freckles is still sporting the dred locks.

I continue to feel better, while at the same time continue to manage side effects from both radiation and chemotherapy. One funky little thing about radiation is side effects can often show up months, even years, after treatment has ended.

The "kids" are back from their honeymoon in the Caribbean. They arrived late last night and are now recovering from jet lag and in general having way too much fun. They'll have to transition back into the work-a-day world. Welcome back Alyssa and Charlie!

That's the latest from here. I hope everyone out there is well.
