Time to post something

Dear world,

I was kept honest by my uncle Kenny today who reminded me I was lacking in my blog writing as of late. I have a problem. Aside from the tumour. I am a perfectionist. You all know this about me. I have a million things to say about the trip. Posting a blog entry about the trip that does not include all of the trip details seems "unfinished". Unfinished = imperfect. This is not good. So what I did was start writing an epic blog entry that started to branch off in 20 directions while crossing over itself and confusing even me in the process. This is not good. Following this path will mean such a post will never see the light of day and I will spend each day with that "unfinished blog post guilt" I'm sure you've all experienced at some point in your lives (you all write blogs don't you?) What I've decided to do is scrap perfection and go with "it'll do eh?" So I'll start by posting what I started on August 5th (with spelling & grammatical corrections now completed). I will then post the details of the trip in chapters over the course of the next month or so. This makes sense as by then you'll all have forgotten I even went on a trip and/or won't give a darn. Better late than never? Thanks Kenny (and all of the rest of you). Oh, I also owe a proper blog post to all of those involved in the Facebook group / real life event "A Healing Prayer Vigil for Tommy Sontag". My thanks to all of you, especially The Balinski's (with Brenda at the top of that list). Again, more writing on that to come. By Christmas!!! It'll be like a present gift wrapped in tardiness?

Before I forget the issue of "Health Update #Idon'tcountthem" I am feeling fantastic. Started my latest chemo round today and don't feel any ill effects once again. Last blood tests showed good results with all of my levels. Next MRI is late September which means I won't have substantial news until early October. CHEERS ALL!!!!! :)
