Something Cool Happened Today
I was really touched by something that happened today. My friend Sara, who also ran Disney, texted to tell me that her 15 year old daughter is participating in "Coaches vs. Cancer" basketball tournament on January 24. They are wearing special t-shirts and were asked...
Disney Half Marathon
Well, last weekend skydiving. This weekend a half marathon at Disney. Life is good. Leaving Wednesday for round 6 of chemo, not so good. It's that much closer to the end. I can do this. I don't want to, but I can. Inspiration Dinner Friday night was the...
Normal Is A Lie
Why Saying Normal Is Lying I have been lying to everyone. Including myself. When the Thursday after chemo comes and I say "I'm back to normal" it's not true. I guess it's simply that physically I feel back to normal. However, normal would be cancer-free. Each day I am...

More Focus Maybe?
It's Thursday! I made it. Thursday is the day I feel more normal. I still can't type as fast as normal and still have some minimal focus issues but I feel like I'm back. Yesterday I was able to read quite a bit which surprised me. I don't remember ever being able to...
