My boy Steven turns 11 today! He got a special delivery of a bacon burger and shake at school (Thanks for that super-rad idea, Shonda!) In celebration, Livvie threw him a "surprise party" in her room with stuffed animals and a big sign. He actually grinned big time. …
Dragons would make excellent pies
My friend Rachelle is such a dialed-in baker, she whipped us up a Key lime pie without even KNOWING today was National Pie Day. Clowns are rejoicing from coast to coast. To celebrate, we devoured Rachelle's heavenly pie because she said it's low-fat. My friend Michelle delivered the pie and a pot of beans and …
That’s right. I’m ignoring you, Weird Cancer Guy!
Check out this guy. He doesn't need a hat or a waist. The best part is I look way better than him. I could just stand next to that tank at the Seaside Aquarium all day, lookin' good. We went there on a day trip with my dad and his wife Chris on …

Mistaken Identity…The Sequel
Sometimes my head erupts in a cranial hot flash, making me rip any cutie pie lid I've got on right off. I'm at a bakery, bald head glowing, when a woman with an equally stubbly bald head approaches me:"So, is your hair a lifestyle decision?" she says."No, it's a chemo decision," I say. "What about …
You Caring
Today, I went out like normal people. People who shower and put on make up. That's right, I went to The Pearl District. I had a meeting about work, and I liked it. I'm starting to love work even more now. Every tagline I write makes me feel power over Weird Cancer Guy. How you …
A biscuit, Brian and acupuncture save the day
Leave it to me to experience a full-blown anxiety attack...in my sleep. Thanks a lot, Weird Cancer Guy. When I woke up at 3 am, I was claustrophobic and completely freaked out. The feeling of being a trapped kid with zero power was all-too real. That's just what I need - cancer dredging up the …

Mistaken hipster identity
Thank you all for your kind words after my pity party yesterday. This third round of chemo has been way harder to rebound out of - emotionally, mentally and physically. Today, I got up and MADE myself go to the gym, where I ran into Sari. After Sari and I were comparing notes on how …
Honeymoon’s over, Weird Cancer Guy
Sorry about going dark for two days, but Round 3 flattened me. Just barely crawling out of it after being so tired and heavy, I couldn't lift my head up, think or even talk. I need pills to not barf and pills to sleep. I feel like Elvis. Today, I dragged myself outside and took …
Chemo…A Love Story
Still basking in the glow of good news yesterday. So far, I have been attached to nothing. I don't get excited about milestones because they move. I'm not confident the cancer hasn't spread because surgery will give us the last word on that. But yesterday, I saw a burst of energy from Dr. Awesome. Not …
Weird Cancer Guy, you’re goin’ down
Round 3 rocked. The best news is Dr. Awesome checked the tumor and said progress is you guessed it, awesome. And that's after only two sessions. Looking forward to crushing it to dust after Round 6. THREE POSITIVES: 1- Gaining power over Weird Cancer Guy. 2- Hanging out with my kids having snacks and talking …
