Big Puss's Book of the Month for June


Yes... what you have all been waiting for! It's the Pulitzer Prize winning, 1975 print of Paul Horgan's "Lamy of Santa Fe," which ol' Puss-breath liked so well he slept on it. The book is all about Bishop Lamy's life in Santa Fe and area between 1853-1875. Lamy (La-MEE) was the area's first Bishop and the chapel he had is now part of the compound at Bishop's Lodge Resort. The chapel, which has no seats and is very tiny, also happens to be the place my sweetie and I got married in October 2004.

The book holds a special part in our hearts, as well as Puss's fat head! His " big headedness" has purred and the answer is 4 paws!

















As far as chemo goes, I completed Round 9, Session 2 this past Tuesday. For the 2nd week in a row I felt really nauseous about 2 hours after and it continued well into the late night. The pills I had did not help much, either. Only some mac 'n' cheese (Janine's gourmet homemade) helped. Which is very weird because one is told to stay away from dairy when nauseous. I have been extremely fortunate because this is the only two episodes I have felt that way in a year of chemo! Think I will take the pills the morning before I go to the next round and hope that nips this crap in the bud. Other than that, all plans are a "go" for me to head up to the research project consult in Bethesda, end of next week. All appendages are crossed for good luck!

methinks Big Puss is just being polite by feigning interest in that little chapel cuz you guys got hitched there. the real catnip in that pile of reading is obviously the Vanity Fair cover story on Johnny Depp, who i'm sure Big Puss agrees is simply dreeeeamy!

I'll be sure and pass this message on to him in about an hour, TG. That is, if he is awake!

Hi! I ran across your blog and thought I would add my good wishes and crossed appendages to the others. I am surviving stage IV colon cancer and received SIR-spheres for my liver mets. It worked well....also know of several people who have had PHP. You might want to check out the survivor stories at www.beatlivertumors.org.

I live in Canton.....so not far from you! Good luck and I'll look forward to your updates. Suzanne

Hi Suzanne... Thanks for your kind comments and WOW on your survivor status, too! I am still waiting for SIR-spheres appeal-approval (it's really not done for PC) so expect the clinical trial to come through first. Which is OK w/ us, too.

Thanks for that link - I shall check it out. I am very familiar w/ Canton and area... it's beautiful there!
