You'd think that after attending the last three of these events I'd know precisely what to expect - attractive men and women clad in various shades of pink having a good time for a good cause. I always see someone I haven't seen in years, the beverages usually lean more to vodka than cava and … Continue reading Pink Party 2012

Ice Breaker Challenge
I ran today for a loved one. Actually, for the loved one of a loved one, which I guess is loved-one-once-removed, but these particular loved ones aren't going anywhere. They will not be removed. The run today was a benefit for the Albany Rowing Center, ARC. This club promotes and supports rowing and I have … Continue reading Ice Breaker Challenge
Think pink – and positive

Especially after a huge rock n roll show on Friday … Continue reading Shack Attack

Allow me to share some information I've gleaned from my … Continue reading The ABCs of Surgery
Malignant Marriage
image from: http://kfmb.images.worldnow.com/images/13630222_SS.jpgI've got strong feelings about marriage and cancer these days. Note: I said strong feelings, not clear or rational feelings. The cancer is on my mind because I've got some routine-ish doctor appointments coming up. Scans, and blood work and follow-up types of things. That, and the recent death of Elizabeth Edwards have … Continue reading Malignant Marriage
On parasites and pregnancy and cancer(s)
When I learned I was pregnant with my oldest son, I was surprised and thrilled. Surprised, because I had taken a number of pregnancy tests with negative results, and thrilled, because my only request for my 30th birthday was to be pregnant. Mission accomplished. While I was deeply excited with the knowledge that my beloved … Continue reading On parasites and pregnancy and cancer(s)
