My little sister, E, found out this week the lump in her breast is NOT cancer. Hooray! There has been too much cancer in my immediate world lately. I could say that, in the pantheon of crappy things, cancer isn't terrible - worse than head lice but better than crippling poverty or genocide. But, still, I don't like having cancer - or the whiff of cancer - too close to my family.
Hooray E!

One woman's reflections on the pursuit of a good life
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit, and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these."
--Susan B. Anthony

Outstanding. I'm so happy for you.
BTW, those ear plugs look like head lice.

Click here to see what head lice look like. Nothing like green foam ear plugs.
BTW, I learned that Sister E is 97% sure she doesn't have cancer, but she is having the lump removed anyway - a month from now. She wisely figures that if the situation were more serious her doctor would have suggested surgery on a faster timeline. Neverthless, they cannot know conclusively until the bugger is out.
