Let’s lead with the funnest thing I did since the last Blog! I attended the Alhambra High School 50th Reunion!  I have attended several throughout these 50 years but I missed many because they were usually held during our Alaska time.  But, this one was like the Grand Finale at a fireworks show!  This is likely the last one as the committee (thank God for the committee!) have decided they served our class faithfully over the years.  I believe they pulled out all the stops to make it Grand.  I think they were trying to empty the budget account.  Many thanks to Krysta and Chuck Roseberry for leading the committee for 50 years.  Job well done to everyone! I reconnected with so many old friends.  I was feeling great that night and enjoyed so many conversations.   Many people have been following my journey via this blog.  Quite a few approached to lift me up and offer prayers, all without pestering me about cancer details.  That’s what I like most about this blog, it allows people to know m

For those of you keeping score you might think we are in Houston today for my second treatment. My last post was so cheery and positive because I was experiencing no side affects from the new drug.  The same day I posted I began to feel a little something something in my throat.  I woke up the next day and when I got up and moving I didn’t feel anything so I went with Diane to the airport to pick up our Alaska friends Vito and Heidi.  They are currently Snowbirds in training.  They bought a place in Scottsdale but have not yet retired.  It’s a smart move, I’ll get them trained up properly!

The first treatment at MDAnderson is in the books. All you prayer warriors came through this week.  We asked for prayers that things would go smooth and the side affects would be minimal.  Well, God answered. Our “missions” to get to and from the airport with the Ground Angels went seamlessly.  Our first driver, Dick was very experienced and told us only one other driver had more than his 1600+ missions.  He is the retired Dean of Admissions (Emeritus) from Rice University.  He had another pickup at the same time.  She was a young mother of two from Florida with advanced breast cancer.  She had been coming to MDA since 2019 and she jumped in the front seat and they started asking each other about their families and medical condition.  They had developed a true bond over the last 3 years of missions. This was truly more than just a ride. The next day was my treatment day.  We left the hotel at 7:30 in the morning and got back at 8:00 at night! We had a few missteps that contributed to t
