Kiss a Stingray?

Yep, one of the highlights of the cruise.
Getting acquainted

The Kiss.
Rachel, a 120lb female, was a real sweetheart!

Merry Christmas, John. Your pc is sleeping...

Life is good. I've just returned from a Caribbean cruise; one less item on the bucket list. Even better, there was encouraging news Christmas eve from the medical establishment. In response to lingering concern over spots on my liver discovered in February, I endured a couple of industrial strength chemo sessions in November. The latest CT scan revealed no change, which indicates the liver problem has "stabilized".

So I'm free again to pursue my bucket list. Next item, thanks to a Christmas present from brother Larry & his wife Diane, a guided 2-hour tour through uptown Charlotte on a Segway Personal Transporter, a.k.a., Robotic Mobility Platform! Yes!

All things considered, I'm doing very well. My appetite is good. My energy is good. And above all, my outlook is positive. What else could it be with all the support I receive from family, friends, former colleagues--and the "oncology angels" who administer the chemo at Oncology Specialists of Charlotte. Thank you all!
