Was generally a pretty long day today for a couple of reasons. My best friend since High School, Steve Lady, went in for surgery for an "undefined mass" in his colon. The procedure itself was pretty basic, orthoscopic and routine, it is the aftermath that is nerve wracking. See Steve's Dad died of Cancer and these days I seem to be surrounded by people who have either gone through the trials of dealing with that disease or are currently doing it (thinking about you Jay, you are an inspiration).
Additionally though today was the tenth anniversary of my Father's passing. He died of Lung Cancer.
For once I have a lot of feelings that I cannot put into words.
