Maximize Fun!

After dealing with chemo and radiation, a cancer fighter should maximize FUN! This is what I wore to work on St. Patrick's Day. Slainte!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It has been too long. I am alive and well. Blood tests are good. Last MRI was in February. No growth. Working hard, parenting hard. Big challenge is that it is now Lent. I have given up all sweets: no candy, cake, cookies, pie, pop, ice cream, etc. Hopefully I will have the side benefit of taking off some or all of the winter weight. Still trying to decide what sport to focus on this spring and summer: triathlons? cycling? return to hurling? softball? a triumphant return to ultimate?
Slainte,
Jim

Half Full Thank You



Just found this video. Marcie and I appear at 1:12. Our youngest daughter is in a pic at 1:25 holding a "My Mom is Half-Full" T-Shirt. Who is going to do this race with us this fall?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
It has been far too long since I posted. Not because things are not going well. Things are actually going very well! No growth, feel good; busy, busy busy. I will post soon with some plans for a great 2011: Easter trip (mountains), summer trips (beaches). Which triathlons? Which races to run? (Race for Hope in DC, May 1) Where to ride my bike? How to convince Marcie to get a road bike?
We are off to a great fitness start. Hitting the pool and the gym regularly. A Spinning class kicked my butt.
Have a great year everyone!

Inspiration can be found any where.

Jake the Snake!


I am so excited! After putting the purchase off for too long, Marcie convinced me to go ahead and get a new bike for Christmas. Can't wait to get it muddy! Ho, ho, ho!

Oh yeah, Dr. P, my oncologist, said that since the Temodar regimen is going well and I tolerate it well I will stay on for six more months. Crush that cancer!

It is Thanksgiving break, my parents are here, the girls are happy and I am married to Wonder Woman. I have so much to be thankful for.

Bizarro World and Happy Thanksgiving!

My bizarro world: where hearing that I will get 6 more months of Chemo is very good news!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I have a lot to be thankful for.

Peace,
Jim
