amazing town!





























Christian, our favourite person in chicago shows us every architecturally significant building and lots of hidden gems around town.
We're lucky because there's a ton to see.
He's a delight

"Dad? Are you ok?"























Julian told me a story about a man who found his father on his bed.
The old guy had dressed himself and appeared that he was all ready to go out.

The man felt his dad's skin to see if he could detect a pulse.
There was none.
He was cold.

Upon reflection he realized that this was the first time he could remember touching his father.

Move my body? uh, sure.

















Some days, successfully maneuvering my body from bed to couch is all I can hope for.

...Next?





























As much as I concentrate on statistics, what to do next is difficult to figure out.
I'm glad to have options.

Hi, my name is MOM





















Now that she's growing up, Celeste has her own life. It is an adjustment of course. Only thing is that I hardly ever see her.

Signs everywhere a sign..






















Sometimes it appears that all the signs are pointed in one general direction. Often I am fully prepared to on the obvious path until a small experiment or hunch moves me off.

Radiation ended a long time ago, but the side effects continue. Luckily the tumour continues to shrink.
