Hi there.

No functioning computer at home means no posting. Trying to do a quickie posting at work on my lunch break. Quick update: I had my second biopsy on 1 October after the second ultrasound showed more suspect lymph nodes. I will have the results on ...

Bagel Dream.

2009-08-15T06:31:16Z

It is almost impossible to get anything called a bagel in Paris that actually tastes like and has the mouthfeel of a bagel. It is bagel-shaped bread usually and one makes this painful realisation upon the first bite. The heart sinks and, somehow, ...

Lesson re-learned.

2009-08-05T21:37:48Z

My last post was a perfect example of how most suffering is caused by wanting things to be different than they are. I rescind nothing. It hurts like hell that some people won't take the time to check in (including through Facebook or Twitter) or e...

Lapse.

2009-07-26T07:01:03Z

Mourning.

2009-06-22T19:32:00Z

He's been gone almost two weeks. We stayed with him right through to the end and, right to the end, he smiled at us. Full of love. Two days before, his body almost gave out on its own. It was time. There was only so much more he could take. To kee...

Sweet Stinkbutt.

2009-06-05T04:38:22Z

He's getting old. And stinkier by the second. He cannot control his bladder at all anymore. He is losing power in his front paws. But he's still with us because I cannot bear the thought of putting him down. If he were out of it or obviously mis...
