Vicki is going to the junior prom tonight! See pic with doting father. She looks great and is very excited to go. I kidded her that her date would need to pass a test on Yankee and Giants trivia in order to take her but she said it would only serve to embarass her -so I have to trust the guy (yikes!)As for me, I had a scan on Thursday to check on progress but I won't hear the results until next week. Perhaps even not until I go in for juicing on Thursday. In the meantime, I'm filling out forms with the insurance company and social security, applying for long term disability. I'm having the usual side effects - most annoying as usual is the fatigue and neuropathy. I had to bail on going to a bar mitzvah today because it was a long drive and I just wasn't up to it.
For those of you interested in birds - I set up our hummingbird feeder this week and instantly got a ruby-throated visiter. We've named him Arnold after Arnold Swartzenegger since he looks like a tough little hombre (and hummingbirds are notorious for vigorously defending their turf!) I also need to print a retraction for my earlier blog about the beavers in Burnham Pond. I got a close up look at them a couple of weeks ago and they are not beaver - they are muskrats. But I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering if the park service trapped them. In the meantime, three swans have settled in the pond much to the consternation of the canada geese! They were fighting a lot the last couple of days but seem to have settled into a truce. In addition to them, the population seems to have gotten into a rhythm - the red-wing backbirds, barn swallows, boattail grackles and cormorants are all co-existing peacefuly!
Wishing you a great week and good weather...BB

Did you all survive prom night? Thanks for sharing the beautiful photo. Good luck this week.
Love, Carolyn
Prom night - you look surprisingly calm for a Dad with a daughter that beautiful! I hope she had fun (and you and Robbie got some sleep!) Good luck in Round 12 - Vicky
1. Where can we see more prom photos? I can't believe our kids are that old.
2. How come we never see the swans arriving? They seem to just show up. If you ever see one flying, please post a description.
3. Did you notice the new trees in the park?
Keeping my thoughts positive about the scan results...
Great verification word this time - dratest
I'm going to start using it.
If it's prom night for Vicki, that must make me 40! Thanks for all the updates!
Hey Brian,
Couldn't help from commenting on this blog update. You have a beautiful daughter! I'm already beginning to feel your pain with my 13yr old daughter with the guy stuff. Don't think I can hold up when Prom night arrives! Ughh! Well, not nearly as good as you look in the picture. However, we all know how deceiving pictures can be :-)
Happy to keep reading you are fighting your illness like a champ! Hoping the remission update is a blog away.
Warm regards,
Chris
Hi Brian -
You look like such a proud and calm Dad - and Vicky is just beautiful!
Good luck with the scan and Round 12.
Linda
Heh Brian,
Am just getting caught up with your activity for the last 2 months and it sounds good. Between trips to Richmond & Puerto Rico, chemo sessions, holydays and spring springing, you're doing quite a lot. And thanks for adding the super picture of you and Vicky. Hope you'll be posting some positive results on this latest round. All the best.
