I hope you all enjoyed either a very merry Christmas or a lovely long weekend. The holiday was bright and joyful in our household, with gifts given and received and a short but sweet visit with Mom. The only "damper" on the weekend was the downpour we received starting Friday night through Saturday. That melted the two feet of snow in the yard and caused our basement to flood. Ed was up all night Saturday night trying to keep ahead of the ever-growing lakes that appeared in three places. He finally got them under control late Sunday morning. It was the worst flooding we've experienced in the 14 years we've lived here, and we hope it remains the worst. Bailing gallons of water every hour is not fun.
As we close out the year, if you are considering making some last minute charitable donations to deduct from your taxes, I ask you to consider Cycle for Survival. A man we have come to know very well at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Stephen Layne, is leading two teams to raise money for cancer research at the hospital. You can read more about it and make a donation online at www.cycleforsurvival.org. Stephen's teams are Makattack and MakattackII. Any amount would be welcome, but no pressure. I know we are all struggling this year.
Week three of my clinical trial is tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no Benadryl reaction this time. I can feel the medications working to kill off those tumors. I'll bet they don't know what hit them!
