Easter Week Fun

Marlee had the week after Easter off from kindergarden; so I took a train to LA on Tuesday and drove to Fresno with Beth and the children on Wednesday evening. What a great time! Both girls enjoyed see the Wiggles and Grace had a lot of fun. Grace loves eggs and is a great eater (thats is what the photo represents).

We drove to LA on Saturday morning (2 cars) and went to the House of Blues in West Hollywood Sat night to see Yonder Mountain String Band. The place was packed and the crowd was lit up in many way to the extent it suprised the band. Peter and Nichole, Paul and Helen, Rob, Rod and shannon, Steve R. also made it - what a great time.

Home on Sunday. Next weekend we are going to Sharon PA to celebrate the wonderful life of Carole's Mom at a memorial service.

Take care.

Game Plan

The photo was taken in Yosemite a couple of weeks ago while we were watching the Final Four at the Mountain Bar.

My oncoloy status is unchanged; I am going to stay on the current treatment (a daily handful of pills and an occasional IV) to see what happens when my androgens are supersupressed. More than likely, I will look into further treatment (vaccine, new oncologic, Haitian Voodoo), but at present things are steady.

Beth and the kids will be up next week to the see the Wiggles and that should be fun.

The following week we will be travelling to Sharon in Western Pennsylvania to have an interment service for Carole's mother.

Hope Easter was special for everyone.

Cheers.

Guests

Great weekend for guests. Beth, Bill, Marlee and Grace Ann came to visit; it was especially fun since the Cawdreys came down from Montanta to visit.

Steve and Nancy Cawdrey founded and ran a school in Montana based upon a log cabin - wilderness experience model, believing that kids need to be in a envirnment that focuses on internal issues (emotional literacy). Most students came from the paralyzing influence of wealth to an Abe Lincoln experience. The individuality and toughness that you see in my chidren was forged at their School - Spring Creek.

Steve is retired and Nancy artistic magic has bloomed as a Western Artist whose material draws on her wordwilde experiences. Her website is worth a look!

Carole is doing very well grieving her Mom's death and has things in hand to celebrate her life at a church service in Sharon Pa in late April.

Since I have not seen a doctor for 3 weeks and have had not lab or x-ray, there is no bad news. However, I have an appointment at the end of the week.

For the past 20 years, I have tried to listen Bach's St Matthew Passion each Good Friday. Even if you do not uderstand German, it will reach your spirit/soul - try it.

Finally, I put up some pics of the weekend. Click and check it out

The Beauty of It

One of the reasons I live in Fresno is to be close to the Sierras - especially Yosemite. When I first came to the Left Coast in 1968 I was unprepared for the grandness of Yosemite. As I visited the park more and more I fell in love with it. This weekend, Carole and I spent a lovely 3 days in the park. The day after we arrived, it snowed and it was breath taking. We were able to have dinner and brunch at the Awahnee Hotel - surely one of the seven wonders of the USA. To see some pictures, click here.

Otherwise we seem fine, except a lot of things are up in the air - my disabilty status, Carole's retirement plan, High Sierra. However, all things are headed in the right direction!

I would especially like to thank Ken V. - my friend - and long time Yosemite employee, for setting up our dinner and brunch at the 'Queens' table.

Lots of guests this upcoming weekend and we are excited. Stay tuned.

Peace and Health,

Bill
