I am currently in the mountains taking advantage of my two weeks off from any kind of treatment. The weather is great. Clear skies and temps between 60 & 70 degrees day and night. I have a few days of taking care of myself as Cat is hanging in Atlanta thru the weekend. Her art has experienced increased popularity lately so she is "in studio" catching up to commitments. Also, her niece has a baby shower this weekend. I will see her on Monday. If I am forced to be alone I cannot think of a better place. I can see just a hint of the beginnings of fall in the trees. There is a feel of fall crispness in the morning air and we have had enough rain lately that creek has a good flow to it. With the windows open I hear the wind and the water all day and night. This is the beginning of my favorite time of year. I even like the word Autumn better than it's three companions. I hope we have an extended fall this year.
It's amazing to me that I am still feeling the effects of chemo after close to two weeks with no treatment. I look forward to a time when fatigue is not my most frequented feeling. What does feel good is a temporary escape from regular reminders of "what condition my condition is in". Speaking of reminders, I want to thank many of you for your help and participation in the PanCan Cancer Walk on November 15. Our team (The P Train) now has 10 members and we have raised a little over $1400. If anyone else would like to participant in this cause here is the link to the site, http://www.pancan.org/purplestrideatlanta/ . We have walkers of all ages. It should be fun. Obviously the donations are the main attraction for continued research. Any size helps so try not to be bashful.
I have made a "to do" list for my couple of weeks in the mountains. Posting and writing is on the top and loading our pictures and videos (from our Flip) onto the computer and subsequently into documents is next. I need to keep up with Cat. She is definitely ahead of me with the digital picture stuff. I am off to a self teaching lesson. Accomplishment or Frustration? Probably both.

Enjoy your treatment-free mountain escape. I can just imagine how gorgeous and peaceful it is up there. Meanwhile, back in Atlanta . . . .
At least you have an excuse for "fatigue." Mine has no reason other than Old Age! ROFL
Take advantage of these next two weeks to "rejuvenate" - even if it means just resting. Your body is going through some very heavy and serious experiences. So chill...
All that aside, we love reading about your life and your good nature through it all. I truly believe that you have been granted a miracle. It just proves, "God works in strange and wondrous ways, his powers to behold."
Love from Missouri !
Paul Cooper. I was surving the internet for a DEC PDP11 and your name came up. Right beside Mike Hubbard...
I have been following your progress thru Dennis but this is the first time I visited your site.
Keep up the good progess. We have been thinking of you.
Henry
