Darrell Joins the Birdies.

Brain cancer is...

 ...for the birds.

With the Mayfields gone this morning, we had only our birds to keep us company.
While I worked on the computer, Darrell discovered the simple joy of feeding our forest friends (above).

When one is supposed to be grading student work, few things are more interesting than the birds enjoying Darrell's feast on the deck.

Here are two we can't identify, even with our Merlin Bird ID app.
Some sort of dove?
We think a woodpecker, but which?
Happy Sunday, Team D!

98%. NBD.

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  ...using outdated slang acronyms to describe current, ongoing successes.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. Bonus Content At the Optune Summit, we learned from the Chief Operating Officer (Mike to us, NBD) that Darrell's version of Optune is tested for water resistance.

Check out the post with water shield improv, 10/23/16.  Click here and scroll down. ) Tonight, out for Thai on our rainy evening, Darrell tested the Optune water resistance testing. His swagger, above, c...

Dinner at the Dawg

Brain cancer is...  ...ending Friday with the Mayfields. Today was an action packed day. It included the dermatologist freezing a spot on Darrell's scalp into a painful wound. Owie.  We also did seven miles at the park. Look how the geese lined up. We have video, too, of widgeons making squeaky toy noises, but we respect Geoff's low bird tolerance and thus send said video only by request.    We changed arrays, and we had other adventures.  Friday ended with a dinner date at Lazy Dog with with Lennie and Christine. 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. What was good is that we were with friends...again...at Lazy Dog, which we call the Dawg. Is the Dawg with the Mayfields a habit?  Maybe so.  The best sort of habit. Happy Friday!  Happy good ...

Taper.

Image
Brain cancer is...  ...tapering. Since returning home from vacation yesterday, we have gone out for a meal only once each day.  Shocking.  Imagine tomorrow, with further tapering.  Gasp. In Other News It was a beautiful day...in many places. 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!
