As if the Race for the Cure wasn't enough action for Sturkie People... We got home and discovered the 99W Drive-In Movie had won an $80,000 digital projector from Honda! Without it, 99W would be out of business because films are distributed only in digital now. So we floored it to Newberg where the Drive-In …
The finish line!
On your mark!
Get ready. Set. Walk! That's right, Team AC/DT (Abernethy Cancer Dream Team) is going to tear up the asphalt! We are going to walk so fast and beat the clock during our untimed race. Pretty sure there won't be any Olympic fist pumping action with all those people. Plus, wearing a mullet wig might cause …
Bald is the New Bling

Hi, Honey, I’m home!
The kids went to camp; we went on vacation. We needed a reset and hours of uninterrupted conversation. We took the dog with us. For the first two nights, it was like having a two-year-old jumped up on espresso...in a cage. She calmed down when we let her sleep with us. Very romantic. When we …
Bald is the new bling: Komen Ladies on AM NW
Bald ladies on AM NW AM NW interviewed all the baldy women who are appearing on Race for the Cure ads. This is my third time talking to KATU, and I've got to say they are super nice. After Brian saw it, he said, "You all are so positive because you have to be." The …

Scenes from Oregon camping
Ahhh, summer camping. Deer grazing with no apparent fear of humans. A tiny lizard stretched out on cool concrete. And a post-radiation mom with Maxi-Pads strapped across her chest. Nothing says sexy summer camping like that. There's no romantic escape from cancer treatment. My chest looks like parchment paper continents in an angry red sea. …
