I'm so impressed with how you keep up with your posting, in spite of chemo-brain and all the other side effects. I'm in the hospital right now with something much less serious, and have barely kept up with emailing my family.

Thank you.

My mother has wondered aloud repeatedly over the years about how I ended up being a Democrat, and who brainwashed me (her frontrunner on that score seems to be the union I used to belong to when I was a librarian).

So now you're telling me I can tell her it's all her fault??? (well, hers and my dad's) I can hardly wait [g].
