We spent a pleasant hour this PM at the Bernardo wildlife refuge, and saw thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese, Canada geese, and other miscellaneous wild fowl. Plus a spectacular sunset.

The night before the night before

December 25, 2023

The night before the night before Christmas, it snowed on Santa Fe plaza. And here’s the picture to prove it. As a holiday present to ourselves, we decided on a trip to Santa Fe to catch a baroque concert, dine out with a friend, then spend the night at a classic old hotel. The weather […]

Adios Mr. Zappy

December 21, 2023

I have bade farewell to Mr. Zappy with the following tender message: “I hope I never see you again.” I even got a certificate (suitable for framing) stating that I have “completed a course in radiation therapy.” I wonder if it will affect my GPA? Anyway: treatment done. Cancer dead. On to the next problem […]

Two Left

December 19, 2023

Two sessions with Mr. Zappy left. Doc says I’ll continue with the exhaustion and other side effects for a couple weeks, then will return to what Mr. Harding called “normalcy” fairly steadily. Yesterday I hit the wall again, spending much of the day in bed. Today I’m feeling more chipper and am feeding myself a […]

Not Charging

December 7, 2023

The day started with my car crapping out due to a broken starter. So the rest of the day consisted of me waiting for AAA to try to start the car, then calling local garages to see where I could get it fixed, then finding out the earliest anyone could take it was Tuesday. Because […]

14

December 2, 2023

I have lain in the embrace of Mr. Zappy 14 times now, which means I’m now more than halfway through the 26 radiation treatments in my program. I have to say it’s been trouble free. The side effects have been minor, verging on negligible. The worst is that I’m tired all the time. My naps […]
