Woodstock Birthday


special thanks to everyone who sent cookies and gifties and checkies for the old birthday. siobhan and i escaped (despite the driving snow) to woodstock for a little R and R outside of the city. i hadn't realized how long i had been here till we left. usually i get away every few weeks to go to boston but i haven't been travelling b/c of the big C. so it was nice to get away. the second day we were there the proposed one foot drop of snow did not happen so we got away with a few sunny, bright days.

here is the saugerties lighthouse, quite picturesque, no? they have rooms to let but you have to reservce them about a year and a half in advance... it is pretty cool tho and i think they have a fireplace. we were more or less constantly blocked this weekend in our searches for jacuzzis or fireplaces... thank goodness for used bookstores!

on the way back we checked out a few more towns such as kingston and poughkeepsie. here i am in the cancer healing dome of kingston (no, really) getting some good vibes. maybe that's why i still have my hair?

upon my return i notice my amaryllis has bloomed after two years of just giving me green long leaves. i had forgotten it was red...

chemo 4 report tomorrow or so, all is more or less well.

Jason, sounds like your birthday was swell. Hope the next round goes well.

I returned home from an unexpected trip to MI and found a package with some seriously sweet sunglasses in them. Thanks! You Rule!

I'll send a pic soon.

And, also -- my amaryllis is blooming too. Plants rule.
