Everyone should have a day this perfect in their lives. Carnegie Mellon flew Jai and me up to Pittsburgh to attend graduation. I had the honor of giving the charge to the graduates at the end of the ceremony. Even the weather cooperated to make it a perfect day with the sun breaking through the rain clouds as the ceremony started. I also got to speak briefly to the SCS and ETC commencement ceremonies. It was wonderful to see all of our old friends and colleagues and I was very touched by the invitation.
My three minute address and dramatic ending —————->
I’m sorry I haven’t posted much recently; there just hasn’t been too much notable going on. Mostly, I’m resting and rebuilding strength. Today has been my best day in a while; I took at 2 hour nap in the afternoon, but other that that have been up and active all day.
Today’s box score:
Creatanine (kidney function): 2.8
CA19-9 (tumor marker): 634
Blood Pressure: 135 / 85
May 10th, 2008: Vroom!
For Mother’s Day, we managed to arrange to have Jai get away for a night in a local hotel, where she was able to sleep in until 9am; a truly rare treat for a mother of three little kids!
We also took a spin in a “kit car” of a 1965 Shelby Cobra.
