At last, I’ve posted some photos from December. We missed a lot of events — holiday parties, bonfire, and so on. Sometimes I just fall out of the habit. We did resurrect the video camera after months collecting dust, but transferring, editing, and posting video just takes too much time. Some day! My favorite photos […]

Weakened heart
January 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments
This morning Laura and I (and Naomi) went to see the cardiologist. He listened and discussed her symptoms (lightheadedness, unsteadiness, occasional falling, fainting, low blood pressure, and lots of migraines). Like the rest of the doctors, he thought that everything except the low blood pressure was probably neurological and not symptomatic of a problem with […]

Laura’s handling this latest round of chemo extremely well so far. It’s really remarkable. None of the previous nausea/vomiting, malaise, or pain even though, or perhaps because, she’s taking no meds to treat any of these symptoms. Her appetite has returned. Many things taste different, but otherwise no trouble eating. So now Laura’s main issues […]

This video is a mash-up of an excerpt from Carl Sagan and various iconic movie imagery. It somehow struck me as particularly poignant right now. Here’s to the new year! http://media.dizz.org/palebluedot.mov

We had a very nice christmas this year without incident. (Well, let’s not dwell on the unfortunate flair up when I lost my cool after Lily turned her nose up at my christmas dinner.) The day was very easy going and the kids were adorable. I’ll post some pics and video later. Laura had her […]

Christmas is coming

Not much to share, but I’m wide awake. Long before Laura’s diagnosis I fell into a bad pattern. About the time I put the kids to bed I’m ready to collapse and I often fall asleep while reading stories, much to Lily and Naomi’s frustration. But they poke me and I read another line or […]

It’s been a winter wonderland around here over the past few weeks. Locals say that this is the sort of weather usually reserved for January or February. There’s currently 16 inches on the ground with some drifts around the barn much deeper. Low temperatures have been in the single digits and we had wind gusts […]
