Thank you to everyone for the fine new year's wishes, prayers, and good thoughts. Despite the disappointing news last month, I stay strong in my conviction of the power of prayer and postive affirmations. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Although not much has happened I thought it time for a short update. As I had hoped, Susan and I have had the pleasure of spending much time with Julia and Catherine. Their long holiday break has given us time to just "hang out" together. They even watched the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl with me, cheering for my favorites along with me. What a treat--and we have 2 more weeks together. In my reentry to the social world, i.e., getting out of the house, I have picked up "the crud". While not usually worthy of discussion, given my low white count (it continues to drop--probably due to the myeloma) I have few resources to fight the bugs. So, this holiday season has given me a few trips to the clinic/hospital, chest xrays and sinus CTs, and antibiotics. I am scheduled to start on the velcade on January 16th and am looking forward to getting some chemical help in fighting this disease--provided the "crud" is under control by then. Our best to you and we'll let you know how things are going once the velcade treatments start. Love, Dan

Good Evening. Now that the decorations are put away and life gets back to some sort of “normal”, I too thought of a quick note to you all. We celebrated New Year’s in Utah! How exciting are we! Actually it did turn out to be quite a nice visit this time. We got to visit with family that we sometimes only talk to over the phone. My winter break ended Monday so back to the “grind”, Greg did take some time off, and Rebecca is enjoying her “play days” and sleeping until 11:00. She and Greg are going skiing tomorrow. She will go back to school on Monday. Then we have the count down to her 13th birthday! How did that happen! It was truly just yesterday that she was born! Then I really can’t comment since Catherine and Julia were little when we met. All three are such wonderful people and such joys to be around.
I would love to have a great discussion with you and Susan regarding our current “situation” involving our esteemed leader and his definition of “defending this country”. Need I say anymore of how I feel about him!!
Dan, as always you all are in our thoughts and prayers. While in Utah we light candles and asked family and friends to keep you all in their prayers and thoughts. Keep strong, as we know you will and again keep that family near you for strength. Talk to you soon. Love the Seals
Round one begins on Monday and I know in my heart that by the end of round four you will have scored a knockout. Enjoy this great weekend. Ted
Dan and Susan,
We have been thinking of you and sending prayers all weekend. Hang in there we love you.
After the Patriots debaucle, I have become an ardent Carolina fan.
