Good news tidbits...

[jay]

While I'm scrambling to finish the cover forms for two proposals... a pleasant interruption from my parents.

- My father just got word that he's been accepted into an experimental study treatment program for his usually-terminal IPF lung condition, after a year of trying :D

- My mother had her gallbladder removed last Friday (didn't tell her kids or anyone, as usual... sigh) but is recovering well, without the complications that cyan_blue has had to experience, and

- the football team of one of my universities (Georgia Tech) will be playing in a minor bowl game here in the SF Bay area (Emerald Bowl ?) on 12/29. I'll be back and intend to go. If anyone else local wants to tailgate, let me know...

Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhh!!!! (about your mom)

I'm glad your Dad got into the program. Is that the one at Emory?

No, it's a treatment program (Emory was just a study), based in Connecticut (but locally adminstered, so not a travel requirement).
