Not my usual blog of finding humor in unsuspecting places, RECHARGING reflects accepting and winning over curveballs thrown at Cal and me. How medical advances and teams drove his treatment plan. And how your love and support wrapped around us like an invisibility cloak, comforting, motivating, and fueling our “can do” attitude. We never felt […]

It’s one thing to tell your friends you’re moving. it’s another to shock them where. “You’re moving where?” “To Florida’s Gulf Coast.” Mouths open in disbelief! Florida is the #1 state ridiculed and trashed with stereotypes. “Want some culture in Florida? Eat yogurt.” “Florida’s weird. Everyone’s waiting to die.” “Hurricanes!” “Alligators!” I’ve moved 14 […]
