Wednesday 10/19/05

Everything is about the same as yesterday, except the counts are closer to 0. Still feeling about the same--I'm doing OK. We are at Day +6, which is 6 days after transplant. Being bored,I have been told,is a good thing under these circumstances. I think I'll try some books on tape today. Dan

Hi Dan,
Good to hear that all you are is bored. An old friend use to tell me as a child that "bored people are boring". Dan, you are NEVER boring, so buck up Danno and grab your needlepoint. You could create a masterpiece in a month!! I'm reading "Blood Done Sign My Name". A true story about a racial killing in Oxford, NC years ago. Hey, there is always baseball in October......and if you live in Chicago (Alexis) you are a happy camper. love you,
Shawn
It is true, October is the best time to watch America's pastime. You can lie down on the couch or in your case something a bit less homey, watch a little, then snooze a minute only to be jarred awake with the roar of the crowd and the call "its a hard hit down the third base line, the runners advancing, here comes the throw and... he is safe!!!" And then you can snooze a little more. Great game.
Since the Red Sox finally won the World Series last year, us New Englanders are magnanimous and we don't care who wins except it should be the American League team just on general principles. I still have my original Colorado Rockies King Soopers inuagural commemorative souvenir ball signed by Dante Bichette. Actually, it is really Alexis' but I stood in line. And where the hell is Dante now, anyway?
Watch some ball, Dan, good for the soul.
Love - Jaike

Hi Dan,

I'm hoping that you're so engrossed in a book on tape that you haven't had time for any blogging! Mike and I have been listening to books for many years. If you'd like, we'll send you titles of some of our favorites. I, too, am waiting for an update.
