The highlight of this round was dinner last Sunday with my brothers from college. It didn't hurt that the Ravens punctuated our feast with a thumping of the Pats. It was great to see every one of these guys and catch up...and I think I'm still in a food coma. Thanks to Rod for planning a fine meal and to those who made the trek into DC on inauguration weekend.

Many thanks to Sandy, Jon and Diane, Kay and Steve, and Angela for the uplifting comments via the blog. Another big thanks to my dear friend Colleen (from way way back in my long hair days) for putting my info on our high school Facebook site.
Congratulations to Danita for finishing up chemo - WOO HOO! I'm happy to report that she is doing "absolutely fantastic!" She left me a voicemail yesterday that I saved because it was so positive and left me laughing really hard. My favorite part is when she said "chemo is shmemo and it is so not a f&*#ing big deal…" She is 100% correct because chemo is do–able. We are two diametric opposite examples of how to get through chemo on the winning side. Our common bond is that we both know we will come out on top! Good luck with surgery Danita and I hope your new set is as perky as can be!
Last but not least… get well Dr. D. We miss you and know you'll be back before long.

Hey Mike! Just went through the entire blog (Request: Can you add cartoons and more jokes for your knuckle-headed friends like me?). I sincerely am impressed with your approach, attitude and actions as your attack this aggravant (how's that assonance... "What did you call me?"). I will be following this, cheering you on, saying my prayers, and waiting to hear the cancer scream out on the Ides of March, "Et tu, Brack-a" (ok, I need to modify it for phonetic-correctness).. As you give it its final stab. YOU ARE THE MAN!! Your fighting spirit drives you and encourages the rest of us. Your old pal -- Jay Jenkins
