My brother-in-law, Hank (pictured to the right with my sister at our house last August), is undergoing some major “un-fun hospital stuff”, including a Hickman line that was put in today, and next week is chock-full 3 days of chemo “fun”, to be followed up by a stem cell transplant at the end of May. We’re pullin’ for you, Hank, and there’s not a minute that goes by when we’re not thinking about you and your family! Keep fighting this cancer damnit!! We love you guys!
Earlier this month I posted about my sister’s cause to raise money for Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Since she started it, she has raised $2,225 and if she reaches her goal of $10,000 by May 10th, 2008, she said she’d shave her head. I upped the ante by offering to shave my head. Then to get the attention of his friends and family as well, my friend Mike in New York offered to shave his head too!
If you haven’t done so already, please consider donating to this cause. You can do so by visiting my sister’s blog, then click the Donate button on the right-side of the page.
I realize now, that my summer blockbuster blogging feast today focused solely on movies I think will be huge. Around the dinner table tonight my family and I discussed chrisTHIS.com’s narrow-minded focus on movies and I was presented with their picks. BTW, we all agreed that Indiana Jones would trump all in its path. Damn skippy it will!
So here’s my lovely wife’s pick for what she is looking forward to seeing most. Based on the HBO dirty-mouth hit “Sex and the City”, the same “wild and crazy” kids get together to reprise their roles one last time, this time on the big screen. Sarah Jessica Parker (who I only know as Mrs. Ferris Bueller), Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Mr. Big himself, Chris Noth.
I admittedly did watch the HBO series a little bit (by proxy) and it was humorous at times, but this is just not one I’m looking forward to seeing, unless I can benefit somehow with a “hot date night” with Mrs. chrisTHIS.
I’m in Seattle for a week to help out my family during some difficult times and in front of my sister’s house is this unusual bonzai-lookin’ tree. A high-five to the first person who can identify what kind of tree this is. Timer starts now!
