Well now time is just flying by!
Just two small weeks of school left for me! 8-10th grade leave tomorrow morning (Sunday the 7th) for their cruise to Cancun or someplace like that and won’t be back til Friday night! Woohoo a week of school with no 8th graders or having to teach Geometry to 9and 10th graders! Graduation is the 18th and last day of school is the 19th!
Masters starts 30th and will flow on through til July 2 or 3. I will be staying on campus during the week and coming home on the weekends to spend time with my lovely wife!
Radiation is almost done. I finished chest radiation last Thursday and will finish Abdominal and Pelvic radiation this Wednesday. So no more tiredness (from rad at least) diahrea every hour or so, skin burn (except from the sun when “pastey white boy” gets out with no shirt on), and no more laying on a diving board sized table with my pants down to my thighs!
I am anxious to go to my parents this weekend for Mothers day. The Shack Dogz are planning a mini-camping trip Saturday night to get together and just see how people are doing. Lots of things have happened in the last couple months and I know I haven’t seen many of the Shack Dogz in a long time. Partly due to what life throws my way but also because I have not been the friend I should be and stay in better contact with these guys who mean so much to me. Even though we’re not as close as we used to be, I know that I can call these guys at any time and they will give me the time on the phone or in person if I need to talk to them about something. I know that any of them can call me with a problem and I will take the time needed to help them through whatever it is they are facing. If they needed money… I wouldn’t even ask them what for, I would just help them out. Once a Shack Dog… Always a Shack Dog… that’s just the way it is.
For any of you Shack Dogz out there reading this… I apologize for not having spent as much time and effort I could have put in to stay in closer contact. Yes I can use the “life is like that” or the “life gets in the way excuse” but you guys mean a lot, always have and always will. I know that you will be there for me in any shape or form if I have kids, or need a spare kidney or have a difficult time in my life. Each of you have leant yourselves in someway through this cancer bit. You either dropped me some emails, gave me a call, helped me through my annointing, or took the time to just pray for me. You guys are always in my prayers and I always think about ya… even if I don’t call you that often. Please know that I love ya… and I think I am actually shedding a tear right now thinking about how much of who I am is because of you half naked-motorcycle riding-movie makin-box factory workin-camping fools that Shack Dogz are! I am a better person because of knowing you fellas!
love ya
