Just a quick update as I’m cruising down from the summit. There is not much to tell about the last few days other than that the side effects are easing up.

And for those of you that don’t know me as well as others do – that…

He is also cooking for us tonight- maybe a chef in the making! Today, Stine was full cyborg. She had a flashing implant on her arm, plus a hose coming out (her PICC line).
