I had blood drawn today followed by a check up with Dr. Baeker. The platelets and white blood counts are still a little low, however they are starting to come back. Tom thinks by next week they should be good enough to start chemo again. So instead of starting today, I will begin chemo again next week. I think we are still trying to sort out the optimum dosage/cycle time that will work best for me.

There is nothing new to report from Duke. My main contact is out this week so I probably will not know anything more on this until next week.

In the meantime my running is still decent. I ran 5 miles Thurday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday night Marti and I played tennis against Sam and we lost. He also beat us Sunday afternoon. Saturday I played golf and broke even. I started to feel a little tired by the end of the round, then I realized it was from carrying my partner on my back most of the round. Actually Mr. Medaris came on strong with a 38 on the back to help us break even. We might have won money if I had not 3 putted from 8 feet on 17. But that is a story for another day.

Saturday night John, Sarabeth, Will, Sarah, Todd Marti and I went to Octoberfest in Danville. It was a blast. If you didn't go make sure and circle it on you calendar for next year.

And finally the biggest and best news, Marti and are going to be grandparents for the second time. Sarah and Todd are expecting their first child in April. How cool is that?

Thanks for caring.
