Moving on

Thanks  for all the wonderful  notes, cards, and emails about Miriam.

It deeply helped me and my family through a rough time.

Now I am working on a comic speech on leukemia for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Conference in Niagara Falls.

As usual I have left things to the last moment, and  no surprise here: It is not easy to be funny about cancer.

But it is possible.

I feel a bit schitzy as I am torn between trying to go for the patients' and doctors' heart and teach others what I have learned, and trying to go for the audience's funny bones and have some fun at my own expense. And while I'm at it, throw a few good natured barbs at the CLL experts.

Well, back to work.
