Many months...

It's been quite a while since I've posted. Mostly that's because there's no real news in my life tumor-wise, and no news is good news. I've finished my 11th cycle of Temodar and in a few weeks will be on my last. After that, it's watch and wait.

Lots of non-cancer stuff has been going on in my life - I've been to California twice this year and will go again in the middle of May. It's been a combination of work and pleasure both times. I'm enjoying work and doing a lot of it these days. I've started to work with Tim on a project separate from Cisco and it's nice to have even this slight variation to my working situation.

Michelle and I recently adopted some kittens pictured here. Their names are Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Unlike the story, they are actually brothers and also unlike the story, they are kittens.

Spring is springing, finally. I've hung my hammock in the back and planted what I hope is to be a vegetable garden. The flowers got all confused between the winter being late in coming and later in going.

Today, April 22, I ran in the Penn Relay Distance Classic 5K. This was part of The Wellness Community's Strides for Hope team and I happily both made my fund-raising goal and improved on my 5K time from last fall by a full minute.

Michelle and I are working on getting a house and a baby. Neither have been very successful yet and both are somewhat complicated by the brain tumor and treatment. I think we will find the answers we need to these questions this year.
