Kid Streak

Brain cancer is...

 ...content.

We have seen at least one of our four children on six of the past seven days.  Their presence causes a glow that we can only call "contentedness."

Brain cancer is...  ...using outdated slang acronyms to describe current, ongoing successes. Optune Amy braved the rain for a face-to-face data download today.  We celebrated our third Christmas together today.  Oh, and Darrell's Optune usage rate was 98% again this month.  No Big Deal (NBD). While she was here, Amy ordered a new shaver for us.  Forget that braid!  Tomorrow we meet...The Pitbull Platinum.  ( Sneak preview?  Click here .)  It's a shaver made especially to keep skulls bald.  NBD.

The only challenging thing about dinner is that we knew we'd sit in Greg's section, so we prepped for Greg's Yemen quiz.    If we passed the quiz on Yemeni current events, it was only at the C level.  Things are not good in Yemen.

Taper.

When we sent Meridyth and Nolan the picture of our nice morning at the park ...we got a glimpse of rainy Lexington, Kentucky, from Nolan  ...and a snowy Wisconsin morning shot from Meridyth. To close the day, Meridyth shared a proper grand finale sunset. Bravo!
