So, it has been a week since my last post. What have I been doing? Living deeply and sucking the marrow of life; while trying not to choke on the bone!

After two months of chemo, my appetite and energy are slowly returning. Last week, I was finally able to get on my spin bike.

Since Monday, I graduated from my bedroom cycling to tackling the mean streets of Ashburn…

I have to get all the riding in that I can as it probably won’t be until next Spring before I’ll be able to ride again.

When I am not riding, the amazingly wondrous USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore fills my time with spectacular exploits. This past Tuesday, the USO hooked me up with VIP Box tickets to a Nat’s game! Regrettably, my wife and kids couldn’t make the game so some good friends tagged along:

The food: delicious;

The game: exciting;

The view: magnificent;

And the company: priceless!

I am happy to report that I am able to eat more than rice and potatoes! Yummy yeahs all around!

My stomach is prepped for an Original Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich and a Pizza Margherita prior to my surgery scheduled for Monday, August 26th. Wish my intestinally fortitude good luck!

Now, I am going back to partying like a rock star right up until surgery.

More reporting on my misadventures out-and-about and culinary journey coming soon.
