things

Had a scavenger hunt last night for YL. Had a ton of fun. My guys are awesome and hilarious. Going to Houston Sunday for a check up. Things are still wonderful.

one of those days

Have you ever had one of those days that was just a little bit off? Everything was right...almost. Things were good...but not great. Fine but not exceptional. Know the feeling...like your missing something?

That's how I felt all day....until I realized htat my underwear was on inside out. Problem corrected.

final finals

So...the semester is closing. I am more excited than the students. I am so ready to be out of the academic world. It is a dry, bitter, and exhausting place. I am going to have a crazy busy couple of weeks between reviewing for, writing, giving, and grading final exams. But then it's over. I feel like I am graduating. I want to send out announcements.

ipod warnings

Why did anyone let me buy an ipod? They should come with a warning stating "Please resist all temptation to sing along. You are not singing quietly, even if you think you are."

I had a funny thing happen at the mall this week. I am walking through the mall with my very sunburned and peeling face and a guy walks up to me. I did not realize that he was a salesman. He says "You look like you could use some help with your face. Is that some kind of disease?" I said.."No, it's sunburn, but what if it was? I am not buying whatever you are selling." He then proceeds to say, "Have you ever heard of the Dead Sea?" I say...Let me repeat myself, I am not buying what you are selling. And I walked away.

Now my face is returning to normal. Working my new job today and I really like it. Life is wonderful.

good news continues

Sorry for the lapse in updates. My eosinophil count has continued to improve. I feel excellent. I went to Houston a week ago and the doctor told me that since I had such a complete and quick response to this chemo, that he thinks if we play around with periods of on and off the medication that we could eventually be rid of the leukemia and not be on the chemo. So he wanted me to come off of it for a month. And one week later, the levels were still down. In fact, they were even lower.

Everything else is wonderful, except that I went to the mountains on Friday and got really sunburned. It was windy, so I didn't realize how much sun I was getting. I look like a redneck who spent the day at Talledega.

We got 5 new people on our Younglife team that I am really excited about.
