AN ANNIVERSARY OF SORTS....
gentlemen, and ladies. today, tuesday the 11th, marks the 9th month since ending chemo and radiation. it's been a battle as you all know, and i've got more ahead, but, today, i'm actually feeling 'okay', which, under any circumstances, i will take. i was down on the boat this afternoon, giving her a bath and just putzing around doing nothing, and hoisting a newcastle brown ale to, hopefully, calm seas ahead. and i could not have had a better day. and you know what? i firmly believe it is because of the companionship and support of you fine folks here at TB.NET. i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Re: AN ANNIVERSARY OF SORTS....
Thank You sir! Yes that's her. She's also the one who told me 6 months ago to "do whatever it takes " to get her boat back in the water! Had a "0" balance on the credit card at that time, just showed her the 14k bill last week and she said to "make sure I get the new AC ordered while its on sale!"
That is why I have been married for 14 yrs!!!!
