Well, I'm back from Thailand and I must say, if I weren't so sick from the long flight on Cathay Pacific coming home, I would rejoice that I am making progress against Thyroid Cancer and Adrenal Cancer.

I finished reading The Book of Curthom, which gave me encouragement and insights into my own mortality and I leave you before the holiday tomorrow with an excerpt to ponder:
