Where has a Year gone to?

Sometimes it truly is surreal how time flies - especially this past year for me. Last year at this time I was home for Thanksgiving - this year, its just another day in Serbia.

I was able to cross the pond the week before last to spend almost a week down in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with the folks and T.J. A great time. T.J. and I played several rounds of golf and overall we had some great meals, some downtime at the pool and R&R. The weather was fully cooperative - about 70 to 75 each day. I then headed up to Chicago in order to see my UConn Huskies challenge Notre Dame. At the invitation of my former boss, I had great seats for the game and enjoyed a great tailgate. Was also able to see several good friends from UConn. And best of all, UConn beat the Fightin' Irish.

Got back to Belgrade a-okay and back to work. Things are running fairly smoothly.

I am now in what I hope to be my last (12th) cycle of chemotherapy. I am scheduled to head to London later this week for an MRI and consultation. Assuming the results will be good, as they have been, I anticipate an end to chemotherapy.

My best to everyone.
