Hi Everyone.

I was going to wait until the end of the week to write an update, but sensed that some of you may be wanting to know how Mike is doing. Currently he is doing great. We are keeping him in good supply of his requisite daily serving of ice cream (low fat for those concerned). For the past few weeks our friends and coworkers have been sending meals over occasionally to help with our busy schedule. Some have sent desserts, which appear to draw Mike in like a fly to a flame. Out of concern for some dietary balance, my daughter, Arianne, took matters into her own hands, and left him notes of caution throughout the kitchen and freezer.

This has been a very busy week, with multiple planning appointments. I will write more about these appointments, and Mike's upcoming treatment, at the end of the week. For now he is trying to gear up physically, and emotionally, for his six weeks of treatment.

I'm sharing with Mike all your well wishes. Please feel free to send him a quick note now and then to remind him of your support by way of email (michael6677@hotmail.com) or by mail at 19 Roscoe Street, SF, CA 94110.

Love to all.

Dan
