change of plans

So, I'm going to be back in Austin starting this Thursday. I'll be there for at least a couple of weeks, perhaps longer, I haven't decided yet.

One of my best friends in the whole world was diagnosed with cancer last week, and I want to be with this friend while they're getting ready to start chemo, starting chemo, if not longer. The doctors think everything will be ok in about six months; the cancer is in an intermediate, not advanced stage. But, you know, chemo is not fun. And what are best friends for?

Many of you have already sent well wishes and virtual hugs; thank you so much. I have never been through anything like this with any of my closest loved ones before, and I really appreciate your support.

See you soon. Perhaps sooner than I expected...?
