Hi Everyone from Steamboat Springs!  I came up here on Sunday - Jill just got here.  We pretty much always have wonderful Thanksgiving’s at Steamboat. We’ll hit the community dinner tomorrow.  The turkey and fixin’s will be wonderful (OK, my raw diet can get set aside for a day).  Our friends Janet and Kyle (and their kids) are hanging out with us this year.   Jill won’t ski because (1) the mountain is open - but shouldn’t be, and (2) she doesn’t have her new knee brace yet.   I won’t be going snowshoeing or cross country skiing because there in NO natural snow.  Bummer. I hope your Thanksgiving is a joyous one for you and your loved ones!

Those who read this regularly know I’m a half-full kinda guy.  Not today.

I’m sorry about that…but life sometimes sucks.  I started a 4-month round of radiation last Friday for the non-cancerous tumor I have behind my right eye.

It’s been 3 1/2 days since the first treatment - and I still feel like a steamrolled pancake.  I have 4 months to get in 40 treatments.  That is 2.3/week.  So….feel like it or not, I’m planning to do another round today.

Ouch.

My dog Cody likes it, though.  He’s the laziest, most worthless canine in history (understand - I love him to death).  He thinks doing nothing but sleeping all day is the best.  This is the only time he gets this out of me.

Oh, well.

Wish me luck.
