And Thus April Draws to a Close

Ah, spring is in the air! That can only mean one thing: our self-imposed visitor moratorium is about to end. We've got people lining up to visit over the next few months and that should be fun.

What else is fun: eating at the French Laundry. Karen and I had a great time and enjoyed every single second there. Three hours shot by like nothing. At lunch at Bouchon the following day, we were surprised when a couple of our absolutely phenomenal NYC friends had our waitress drop a fat gift certificate on the table at meal's end. We went to the Bouchon bakery next door where Karen blew the whole thing on an obscene amount of pastries and such that we brought home and shared with the kids. Was it Karen's best birthday ever? I believe so.

What ain't fun: I'm not going to Coachella. A series of work disasters prevented my traveling companion from being able to go and Dash is off the Coachella table since he absolutely cannot miss anymore school. So that whole last post about looking forward to things? Not so much for me right this second. I will be leaving for scenic(?) Frankfurt, Germany for work this weekend where I will thrill to the sights and sounds of an office building and hotel room.

There's not a tremendous amount of health news to report and that's basically a good thing. Karen's leg is still swollen but not so much and not so painfully. She should be having another PET scan sometime in May. In the meantime, we just ordered Crizotinib refill #5 today.

Anyone that wants to visit or just drop by to be social, we would love to have/see you. Drop me a line and I'll add you to the dance card.
