Future Plans

I've received a number of questions about my graduate school plans. Many people have assumed that I would delay starting school under the current circumstances. This is not that case. I plan to begin school at the end of September just as I intended. I have discussed this with my oncologist. There is only a small amount of disease that we are fighting right now and Dr. W see no reason why we can't aim to be done with chemo prior to the start of classes. So I'm moving full speed ahead with my plans!

I have a couple of vacations planned before classes begin. At the end of the month, I will be in Las Vegas having a reunion with a bunch of my college friends. Then the first week in September, I'm going home to Omaha to visit my family which as of a few hours ago is one person larger! My niece, Isabelle Christine, was born at 12:37 pm today. Congratulations to my brother and his wife! I'll be in town to meet my new niece and to celebrate her sister's first birthday. I'm really looking forward to it.
