First things first: I want to thank everyone who shared kind words about last week's good news -- namely the discovery that The Boy does not have cancer. Really, it means a lot. In two days, we should have results for Foxy's next set of tests. This should either confirm or rule out a thyroid problem. If the thyroid is ruled out, then we still do not know what is wrong with her... and a different line of testing will commence. Wish us luck!
Second things second: Don't forget to go to yesterday's entry and vote in my birthday poll! I plan to choose the location for my birthday party tomorrow, provided there seem to be enough people who are interested in (and able to) attend to actually have a party. Otherwise, the Oxford University Society of Change Ringers is planning an outing to Cambridge for that day, to spend time with our counterparts at the other place.
Meanwhile, it has been several days since I updated with any of the goings on in my life. ( This seems as good a time as any to rectify that... )
Oh, and for those of you still trapped in the States, I should note that the dollar sunk to a new record low today versus the Euro. I did warn some time ago that y'all should get out while you still can. Of course, with most of my life's savings in two pieces of US real estate, the plummeting housing market and US dollar hardly leaves me unscathed, either. Ah well, at least I am earning in sterling now... which is in decline, too, but not as badly. With any luck, the UK will switch to the Euro sometime soon. And I think I see a pig on the wing flying by my office window...
