Somewhat of a repeat of the past few days!

The bulk of the day was dedicated to continuing my bedroom paint project. It is a much needed project as we had never painted the room in the 2 and a half years that we have been here. In the process of puttint the room back together, I looked at my picture on the front page of a local newspaper from last December and I can see that I had that "cancer look". In spite of the fact that I have done so well from the beginning, certain aspects of the disease and treatment just cannot be avoided and that was one of them. Thankfully, that's all gone now!

But, really, the big event for me and my wife is that friends from New York will be visiting this weekend. Needless to say we haven't been able to connect in person for quite a while - only via phone calls and e-mails. So it'll be great to catch up on everything and take another step toward full recovery. I used to take our visits down there and their visits here somewhat for granted - but I really can't do that anymore. We never know what curveballs life is going to throw at us - as "they" say, tomorrow is promised to no one.

But I do expect to be here tomorrow night.

And I expect all of you to be here as well...
