Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 09:19 PM

Good morning! Michelle and I watched the 2nd half of the "Flash Forward" pilot. Intriguing series! 5:31am

Good news: today should be sunny and reasonably warm for autumn. The bad news: today I join Michelle for our "chemotherapy education" session. She's also getting a cholesterol check and a bone scan this morning. 5:42am

Michelle has dropped the boys off and is getting a little blood work for cholesterol screening. She's glad it's on the early side because the test has the usual fasting requirement. I'm VPN'd into work till noon. 9:05am

You know if you read the back of just about any common medicine (aspirin, tylenol, the birth control pill, etc) the potential side effects can scare you away. Nevertheless learning about the potential side effects of modern chemotherapy is a little unsettling. I'd appreciate prayers that Michelle handles it well starting next month. She's a strong lady, but every person handles it differently. 3:26pm

Gorgeous weather on the drive home from oncology. Back to debugging work for the rest of the afternoon. 3:30pm

Downloaded episode 2 of ABC's "FlashForward". Hopefully we'll watch it tonight once the boys are down. I also purchased the audio book of "An Echo in the Bone" for Michelle. 46 hours! If that doesn't help her through the winter... 5:38pm

After putting the boys to bed, Michelle, Claire, Abby and I watched episode 2 of FlashForward. I think I got Claire hooked. ;-) Good night all! 9:09pm

Bookmarks I made today:

The Cruelty of Casual Canonizations
Comment: Food for thought at the next funeral you attend...
Excerpt: In recent years it has become commonplace to turn funerals into casual canonizations. “Bob is in a better place,” we’re told, which, if taken literally, can only mean Heaven, as neither Hell nor Purgatory are better places than earth.
