Off to the lake in the morning!

Another chance to enjoy the beautiful New Hampshire summer as Labor Day Weekend is upon us and the weather is supposed to be georgeous. Labor Day kind of marks the end of summer even though there are officially 3 weeks left of summer according to the calendar. It's getting darker earlier and cooler in the evenings = all pointing to the fact that fall and winter(ugh!) are approaching.

For us it means that we enjoy 3 days of R & R and go back to Boston on Tuesday to see my oncologist and to get an MRI taken of a swelling in my Adams Apple area. It's been seen by two doctors already who say that it is nothing. But, they just wish to be sure. I've never had an MRI before so this will be a new experience for me. Add it to the list! I've had so many "new experiences" over the past, almost three years that they just seem to be another routine part of my ongoing story.

Meanwhile, life continues apace. Week thirteen of photophoresis is done. Looking at my arms tonight, one could surmise that visible progress has been made. My wife certainly feels that way. I don't wish to jump on the bandwagon just yet, but, for sure, there has been no detrimental effects from the treatment.

Tomorrow morning we pack, we'll leave after lunch and return on Monday in the afternoon.

It's time to enjoy the world as God meant us to...
