Early, Late, Ontime and a Taxi to New Jersey

So I just can't figure it out. Where does that cord go, besides the obvious (into the ceiling). Apparently it's a little paranoid, as shown by the tin-foil wrapping keeping out The Man's mind reading brain wave device. Well I suppose it's what happens when you try and retrofit a 120 stone, plaster and lath house out east.

Ronnie let us crash at his place again (maybe it's those big red shoes that keeps him from gettin' proper 'lectral work). This time we're in the main house, third floor. Beauty of a stone house with radiant heat is that it's rarely cold. Bad part is that it's usually pretty hot, and for some strange reason there's less of a draft with the windows open than closed (the air actuallys goes out the window so fast that no cold air comes in).

We hitched a ride via our buds in Milwaukee, it was an early 5:45 am flight but that put us in Philly by 11:00 AM. Not bad for a 1300 mile trip. Our return trip doesn't start till 8:30 PM so it'll be a bunch of early mornings and late nights this week. Hopefully the evening flights get thouse warm chocolate chip cookies too.

Molly had an eye exam this morning. They found 3 (three) seeds. That's what they call new, previously unseen tumors. The doctor said not to worry about them, because they just froze them and they're dead, lickety-split. She said they are pretty common whenever the kiddos have retinoblastoma that's big enough to have the "blisters" around the out side edges of the tumors. Apparently little pieces can break off and spread. So no worries, with today and tomorrow's chemo, that will be the last.

So we had to take a cab home from the oncology clinic today, and the cabby accidentally started to take us to the Ronald McDonald's House in New Jersey. Not the one we want (Philly is in Pennsylvania). Fortunately he was pretty cool, and turned off his meter, and just charged us a couple of bucks.
