Cancer Schmancer

After many days of silence, I finally have some good news to report: my fourth chemo treatment was done today. It was a little more uncomfortable than the previous ones, but only marginally, and now I feel just a little tired. Well OK, a fair bit tired. It's a beautiful day and I came home and enjoyed the sun with Mom on the deck. She and I have just returned from a delightful week visiting Claire for her graduation from Exotic Animal Training and Management in California. The star student herself will be home here in a few days.
On such a glorious gift of a day, we think fondly of Selwyn, who died yesterday. He greeted every day with a passion and enthusiasm some of us found hard to understand, given the immense physical challenges he faced over several years. Bob and I had the pleasure of a short visit last September and a cheery Hi folks! from him. What a lovely man. I am grateful to have his example of how to live. To Maureen, my dear cousin, much love.
