Nearly all names for things are shortened, and then an ‘O’ or a ‘Y’ are added. So Jack and Steff are from Carbondale, now Carbo, Lew and I are from Westy, a friend is from Pottsville, or Potty. It seems like I’ve said this before, but we really could live here among the rather casual, …

Blog 3 – A chocky for breaky?
The weekend is nearly finished. We showed up and did our commitment, drank tons of water, and went home to nap before joining humanity on the mall walk. It was intense, although intensely good, at our weekend event. We were treated with exquisite kindness and courtesy by our hosts. Surprisingly, many women seemed grateful that …
Blog 2 – Oz unleashed, but not unhinged
Sleeping is good. So is a shower. Really wonderful to wake up in a new place with a full battery. We are fully here after a couple of days — now we can be Ozians for the next ten days. So, let me tell you about the Gold Coast area we are in — miles …
Blog 1 Australia August 13. Or 14, or maybe even 15, depending — 2023
Never been down under.. Never thought much about going there, before finding ourselves before the Gate G5 marked to San Francisco, on the first leg of the trip. It felt a bit intimidating to go so far by way of such a very long flight. But here we stood, all our acoutrements of modern life and …

Greetings again from the enchanted land of Colorado. I hope you are enjoying this warm and sunny day, even with the ongoing ground-snow. Lew and I saw the radiation person today in our first appointment in the what’s-next category. Kelley attended on Facetime. Each small visit to the next new doctor takes us further into …

Finally, and with great relief, I saw the oncologist today, and Lew and I sat in, daughter Kelley was on through FaceTime from her office. So much better to have the reports in, and the Lymph nodes negative that I felt quite wonderful. I had planned on this being good news today. It was. We …

Dear Friends I am writing to apologize. I didn’t write soon enough and some of you worried. It was my thought to not blog on you until I have met with the medical oncologist again, now that I have a pathology report, and we could figure out what all is next. That appointment is Wednesday. …

Done! For now – Out out damned spot! Surgery was yesterday, and I have lazed about the house all day today like a sloth moving slowly. I’ve done nothing but read a book and a half about women spies in the Revolutionary War, and answered a few calls. Talk about a leisurely life! Lew was …
