Currently sitting in a hotel just south of Jacksonville and since I finally got done doing a super-critical, last-minute work document, I figured I would recap my last couple of days in Florida for what I’m billing as my midlife crisis concert tour – for no other reason than I have the laptop fired up and I need to create… Read more »
So, I’m hanging out in my hotel room in Clearwater pretending to get ready for a work meeting I’m having in 20 minutes. I should be out running around checking out the beach and finding lunch but instead, I’m updating my blog… Seriously, I need to get my priorities in order. Actually after this meeting, I have to check out… Read more »
Science is really cool… and a new research study from the team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (an Ivy League school, BTW) thinks it may have the answer on why women with a history of a previous pregnancy statistically end up with better outcomes after a melanoma diagnosis. I’m going to quote a passage on… Read more »
So, if you read my previous post, I’ve not come into 2018 with a fabulous start. Yes, I know that I didn’t have another body part get cut into. Yes, I know I haven’t lost anyone close to me. Yes, I know I need to reframe my outlook because being crabby isn’t going to make things better. I know all… Read more »
So, we’re 12 days into the new year… and from the title of this post, you can probably guess that it hasn’t been all gloom and doom but it certainly hasn’t been sunshine and rainbows either… I guess that’s what is called life, right?

It’s a few days into the new year and I’m still trying to get into the normal routine. Between my long weekend in Ohio and the Florida road trip, my life has definitely veered from the ordinary for the last couple of weeks. We had a great time in Florida: hanging out in Orlando at a very nice resort (discounted… Read more »
It’s been 3 years to the day since I had my excision. It doesn’t seem possible. But it’s been 3 years since cancer was cut from my leg. While I’ve had a number of bullet holes from various biopsies (including a big old circle from my most recent one), so far, I’ve managed to avoid having another excision. I could… Read more »
I’m in the basement of the library in my home town. My parents don’t have wifi (WTF??) and I needed to get on some meetings for work since I’m trying to wrap stuff up before the holidays. (It is freaking cold. I forgot how much freezing cold winter air hurts every part of your body. Why do people live like… Read more »
I finally heard back from my dermatologist’s office. Apparently the thing on my leg is… well, they’re not sure. But they’re pretty sure that it’s not melanoma. I guess that’s a good thing to hear. I would prefer some more definitive answer on what it is, but I guess knowing it’s not melanoma or any other form of skin cancer… Read more »
I still cannot believe Tom Petty died… The title of the post is a small tribute to him as well as accurately describing my feelings right now… So, I’ve delayed on writing a follow-up post from my doctor’s visit last week. But with each day that passes, I realized that this blog is my therapy and if I wrote about… Read more »
