“Writing is a struggle against silence.” – Carlos Fuentes Below was originally posted in “Cancer – We “CAN” Beat This!” Since the last post, and yes I realize it’s been a while since I’ve provided you with the thoughts of this wayfarer, I’ve spent time out on the lake with my long time friend Andy, [...]

Never Lose at Home

“Never lose at home” – yes, another sports metaphor.  I’m sitting here tonight watching the Boston BRUINS and Washing Capitals in the first round of the NHL playoffs.  Our youngest daughter Logan is in the kitchen preparing tonight’s meal and my bride rests on the couch under her favorite blanket while the men of both [...]

A Day Like Any Other

“Today is a day like any other” … I am willing to bet this phrase is almost never spoken by a cancer patient and their support system.  For obvious reasons, we [cancer patients] worry, struggle, question, and sustain constant inner turmoil for a resolution to the current situation.  Today, unfortunately, is not like any other [...]

Hope is Not an Illusion

When I first heard “television was nothing more than an optical illusion” I immediately dismissed the notion dismissed the notion and no longer listened to anything my biology teacher had to say; which included his normal course of instruction.  So here I am now, working on some quick math, and actually realizing thirty-five years later [...]

Accept, Adapt, and Ask

There’s roughly ten minutes remaining in regulation time during this afternoon’s matinee hockey game between my beloved Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals.  The Bruins were/are the NHL Stanley Cup Champions after surviving three game seven matchups before setting the town of Vancouver on fire when the Stanley Cup itself was presented to the Bruins [...]

Tiramisu and Tequila: A Great Birthday

The day started off like most with a few minor wrinkles. I think the term wrinkle is appropriate for this blog as it involves the passing of another year and a new crooked number is posted on life’s scoreboard. The first few texts I received yesterday morning were from very dear friends reminding me of [...]

LUCK

LUCK. One of those attributes you either have or you don’t. Period. Some folks say you make your own luck. I think it’s part of your DNA makeup. One of those sayings I’ve heard, and even said a number of times, particularly as a lifelong, died-in-the-wool Boston Red Sox fan is “if it wasn’t for [...]

Positive Connections

CONNECTIONS. I should probably defer writing this until my mood is sunnier, but it has been a while since I’ve sat down in front of the keyboard (at least this one) and collected my thoughts for the blog. I’ve been working on the subject of “connections” mentally for nearly two weeks and since I hardly [...]

Good Friday, Shaky Bullpen

It was Good Friday yesterday. The students were all excused from training to conduct an Earth Day clean up - and I can tell you they did not catch any slack - those kids worked their butts off clearing out, pruning, raking, and general pick up. The campus is in excess of 8000 acres, complete [...]
