7:46 pm 
Good morning! 66 beautiful out, hope you have the same for your busy day!

Hey, kid. Nice photos of you on FB! So official! Hope you had fun.  I had a Thai dinner with my old sister and her beau at yet another place to celebrate the end of treatment. And they paid! Sleep well, sweet man.

Went to a great concert last night.  Fun show, nice way to unwind a bit. Another nice cool day.  This is nice weather!

8:08am  
Good morning!  66 – staying cool, love it.  Work then MGH w/E to see oncologist for final check-up.  I like her – cute little Asian lady in a Chanel suit!  It’s so great to hear about the fun things you’re doing!  Have a thuper Thursday!

6:03pm  You watching football tonight? 

Phil 6:03pm 
Oh hell yeah!
Winding down after 45 minutes on the eliptical. Busy day tomorrow, have to make a speech at a big event. Promises to be great fun.

6:10pm  
I just got back from MGH.  Oncologist says I am ALL DONE.  No more doctors for awhile! 
Ah, nothing like a good speech! Wow!

That’s fabulous! Nice to be free of doctors for awhile.

6:18pm  Wish you were here to help me celebrate.  
Would be fun to play a little doctor with you! 

Phil 6:24pm  
I have a built in thermometer!

6:35pm  
Oof!  I have a fever!  Do you have the cure?
10:40pm              
Good to see football again?
G’night. Sweet dreams, kid.

Phil 6:25am  
Cool here, 60, air smells like fresh bread from the cafeteria

8:31am  
Good morning!  65 gray, but I’m smiling thanks to an early msg from you!  Have a wicked awesome Wednesday!

9:46pm  
Long day at work but got lots done!  Brain feels like mush but for a good reason for a change!  Skin finally starting to heal.  Headed to bed early.  Hope you had a good one.  Sweet dreams, kid. 

Visit #3 Girlie nerves

Tuesday, August 9

8:26am
Good morning! 70s humid sunny. Odd dream – huge lobster chasing me. Maybe ghosts of my weekend meals? Hope your day rolls easily!

8:41am
Phil: All of those places look good! Any would be fine. Have a great Tuesday!

6:15pm
Glad those made sense to you. Wish I was there now!

7:00pm
Head full of what it will be like. Mostly very excited about swallowing creamy clam chowder and sucking lobster legs. Mixed w/ nerves – idiot girlie stuff – what to wear and whether my short hair is scary so I should wear the wig… it doesn’t matter but my brain won’t stop! Ah, well, all part of the fun!

11:15 pm
Pouring rain here, smells like the ocean.
Tempts me to dance in it! Sweet dreams, kid.

Good morning! Fog. Humid 70’s. Looks like London! Working from home today… need a day without a bra. Hope you have an easy start to the week.
