My Mom gave me a book recently written by Trixie Koontz, the dog of author Dean Koontz. The book is titled Bliss To You-Trixie's Guide To A Happy Life. He put Trixie, his Golden Retriever, who passed recently, as the primary author and all proceeds go to Canine Companion International (http://www.cci.org/).
It was a easy read and
a very nice book that made 
you smile and laugh, especially if you are a dog owner. Another great book geared more for kids but our family laughed out loud reading it every time was Chewy Louie. My advise-get a dog and go get both books:)Otherwise, I am doing ok adjusting to my new normal and my face gets rounder with Prednisone as the culprit. Meghan thinks I look more like Santa Clause everyday which made me laugh...good timing too as temporary cosmetic changes shouldn't really rank as high on my list as they do sometimes.
My Phillie relatives are up 1-0 and as a former San Diego native, any Dodger loss is a good one.
If you see me (and recognize me), say Hi and we can even shake or hug if you are feeling good-just don't tell my docs:)
Not much else to report but blogs are good for mundane and rambling too right?
Miss you all at work and hope to back in some capacity after the turn of the year.

Jacob is not happy about the Dodger's loss. We watched the ball sail over Loney's head and knew that worse things were to follow. Go Blue!
I just read a great article in the October newsweek by Jet Li, the actor. It is in the "My Turn" section and you should read it. It regards a foundation he has created called "One", in response to his personal experience with the tsunami in December 2004.
I hate to say it Rich...but your face doesn't actually look a lot rounder than it used to! Maybe you were used to a skinny face during your illness earlier in the year...but the rest of us who don't see you that often think you look pretty normal!! :~) :~) Anyway, we don't notice stuff like that much anyway, we are just happy to see your smile. xoCarlyn
