No news is, well, no news.

Nothing to report yet from Jedi Master Mitch. He’s on his way back from the outer rim…and we all know how far that is even in hyperdrive.

A quiet, snowy, and cold Saturday here in the North Country. Helping to pass the time is an all-acoustic Phish mix I had made up many moons ago for whatever reason, and the comfort of a steady burning wood stove.

“And when I come home cold and tired…it’s good to warm my bones beside the fire.”

The kindness of a neighborhood

Kasey and I are humbled and so very grateful for your love and support. We want you all to know how lucky we feel living in a neighborhood like we all do. We hope that you feel the same.

From our family to all of yours,

Thank you for you kindness and generosity. It all helps on so many levels.

Rob, Kasey, Cooper, Sadie, Schatzi, and Zenfish.

Just a little longer

Hi all

Not much change on the big picture since the last post. We are simply waiting for some additional perspective from some very serious people about whether my inoperable situation is truly and actually inoperable. We hope to have that preliminary answer within 3 days. If Jedi Master Mitch feels it would be a worthwhile endeavor to go to San Francisco for some extensive brain function mapping, then off to the west we will go.

On a related front, the mounds of paperwork, insurance forms, specialist referrals, in and out of network provider approvals, images and biopsy results distribution, etc….is a management full time job just by itself. Kasey is simply going to need to take time out of the office at least until the treatment plans are in place and underway. Trying to do it any other way is asking for failure on some part.

Rarely in life have I personally experienced any large or small set of challenges with one top priority so clear over all others.
