Well I have the last three days of the year dialed in. Not exacltly what I would have planned if left to my own devices but looking forward all the same albeit in a slightly perverse manner.

Technically four days. We will start Sunday, December 28 at our church, Vintage Grace at the early service - 8:15 AM. Per our usual we will sit in the front row next to Dan & Anita, our dear friends from Life Group. They always save us a seat. This will hopefully lay the foundation for the days to follow. Probably watch some football that day and the 49ers have the Sunday Night Game.

Monday, December 29 I will get my bloodwork done at Quest Diagnostics. Only a 20 minute exercise but more prelim for the big days. Up bright and early on Tuesday, December 30 to drive to San Francisco to see my oncologist, Dr Kim and my immunotherapy infusion cocktail. And then to lunch and our kids house to spend the night. Wednesday, December 31, New Years Eve I will get up early and go get my MRI and CT Scan. Will spend about 90 minutes of the last day of the year in a tube. At the conclusion I will be hungry since I have to fast so late breakfast or lunch will be in order before heading home.

So why the heck would I look forward to any of this? Good question. It is my greatest - prayer, wish, hope, desire, manifestation, ambition that I end the year cancer free and will receive that precious news on December 31, 2025.

Should I be so fortunate I will have a champagne toast with my wife, Mela and probably have an early night.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Stay Strong, Be Humble, Be Kind and God Bless!
