[More Getting to Know You - September 2]

I'm with Kitkathi. Before 9/11, I would have brought it right to the police though I'd be driven nuts with curiosity. Since 9/11, I 'd phone the police annd have them come to pick it up. Don't want anything "going off" when I move it!!

I love summer!!! It usually stops raining here in the Pacific Northwest for most of the summer and the sun shines; doesn't usually get too hot either.

[Getting to Know You - August 30]

I have sleeping problems and wake several times a night. I try not to get up before 4:30 or 5:00 AM so I always am hoping that perhaps it's 4:30 or 5:00. Then I enjoy getting up reading the paper, walk the dogs... So I really hope for the alarm in a sense.

[Mike's doctor appt.-Tarceva]

Hoping the reduced dose of Tarceva does the trick. Sounds like his doctor is covering all the bases and that's good.

Will cross fingers for a good reaction starting Sept. 5th.
