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...

Awesome! Those are good bits of news. And yay for no complications on the surgery!

That's all good news!

And Dan's family does the same thing about notifying us when there's health stuff. His sister almost lost an eye from a run in with a tree, and we didn't know about it for months, when we were in the surgery waiting area when his dad fell off a 10 foot ladder and had to have his ankle/foot operated on (that's what led to him having to have it amputated last year). And we live all of 20 miles away from them.

Families, can't live with them, can't shoot them ;-)

Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhh!!!! (about your mom)

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

Yay for the good news about your folks. I am sure that this will make Christmas more pleasant.

Oh, wow...that is good news for you and your parents!

And, yes...it is the Emerald Bowl that GA Tech is going to. I thought of you when they announced it on Monday. Did you hear that they are still ranked in the top 25? (I think they're 24, but that's still top 25!!)

My Bears are in Vegas for their minor bowl. If they'd gone to the Emerald, I'd have been there no questions asked, but since then I kinda earmarked the money for other things.

If I were still living in the Bay Area as opposed to Sactown, I'd be tempted to go make an afternoon of it and root for Tech with ya. :) But since I'm not, I'll just be there in spirit. G'luck to your team. :)
