The Musical Daddy: January 2015
http://musicaldaddy.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The life and times of the Musical family, adjusting to post-cancer life in Pittsburgh. Saturday, January 24, 2015. This week, twice, I have had the pleasure of an exquisite experience: running laps with my oldest son. Plus, the day of the marathon, he had a complete and epic meltdown. He was screaming and crying all the way through to the end of the run. Combine that with bringing Little Bear along with, and it wasn't a great experience. Thus, my wonderful moment: going for a nice run with my son. We...

The life and times of the Musical family, adjusting to post-cancer life in Pittsburgh. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Running, Louvre, and Lunchtime. We had a tour guide, name Kiko, who took us around to see some of the highlights. Hermaphrodite (with a nice butt, and I'm not going to post the "Crying Game" other side:. C'mon, man," he said. My response: "Lady with the cane wins, fella.". The crowds were huge, as you would expect. Except for this one area, they tended to be quite accommodating. People ...We wa...

Red Dye #48: October 2010
http://reddye48.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A resource for those thrust into the world of pediatric cancer. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Letter to the Editor. And the NY Times, I'm beginning to wonder if our nation's editors are drinking on the job. Check out The Age of Alzheimer's. And let me know what you think about the last paragraph. Thanks to our friends at PAC2. Who brought the article to our attention. Here's what I thought:. Dear NY Times,. This isn't opinion; it's fact. How can we secure funding for this shockingly. Surf's up, dude. Stres...

My life, my family, my stories. Monday, November 17, 2008. Sometimes it Just Gets Worse Before Better. Sunday 11/9 and Wednesday 11/12 3:00 pm 3 days apart same time, same Josh channel. Feel like it's just been a whirlwind the past week? Wednesday 11/12 7:30 and 8:30 pm. Thursday 11/13 9 am. He then, still crying in pain, took a wash cloth and began wiping at it himself. It was so adorable and obsessive. Even through the pain, he was still Josh. Thursday 11/13 11:20 and 4:20 pm. 11/15 10am and 1pm (x2).

Photodespoina: 2010: Week 25
http://theadventuresoftadpole.blogspot.com/2010/06/2010-week-25.html
My life, my family, my stories. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Penny asked I take a picture of them on their "Notre Dame Bench" with their ring pops, she wanted to be sure I got Andy's Father's Day poster prints (on the mantel) in the background. They also each drew a picture on some shipping cardboard and made cards. Penny's pettiskirt is from Costco. . .where else? I extracted her. She got 3 band-aids. Josh got zero, not a mark on him. She is the best big sister ever. She then almost had a full blown panic a...

My life, my family, my stories. Monday, August 2, 2010. It's been, well, a lot. We are a little behind on weekly updates, and I was doing so well. Physically he is recovering well, emotionally is tough. This is his "bad" face. This is also his super big sister Penny and their little cousin, who is wearing Penny's shoes. Outfits by gymboree for those who are curious, hey, you gotta go all out for christmas in July cousin photos! It would be inadequate to try to put into words how this is effecting me.

Photodespoina: Far From Normal
http://theadventuresoftadpole.blogspot.com/2010/05/far-from-normal.html
My life, my family, my stories. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Or "The Wise One Blog Hops". I'm all kinds of exhausted tonight, and I was just trying to go to bed when this post went up. And then in instant facebook fun the Wise One became my friend too, and I decided she needed to be my guest blog post too. Yay for last day of chemo! Anyway, Yay. Or Yay-ish. Has anyone given you the speech yet? The "be gentle with yourself because you're going to be a little schizo for a while"? Well, in case they haven't .
