Not that I live under the illusion that I have many readers, but those of you who are wondering why no new news lately, my dad is has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
He just finished some radiation treatment for tumors in his brain; this Wed he will meet with the oncologist to make decisions about further treatment.
Needless to say, I was distracted on our trip to Annapolis to visit Jonathon. We had to break the news to him (JY did the honors) and I had to make several calls to Scotland. The worst was to my cousin Margaret; she and her sister Lucille had to inform my dad's nearly-90 year old brother of the bad news.
But it was a good trip nonetheless; we went to a couple of classes with Jonathon (Game theory was the most interesting), including swimming where Nate and I held our breath waiting to see if Jonathon would require rescue (he didn't! the Navy has at least taught him to swim)
We had a great time watching Navy beat Louisiana Tech. We also ran into the Rupp family (children of our friend Margaret's, a family where everyone either went to USNA, married someone who went to USNA or gave birth to someone who went to USNA)
We also went to Mike's for our traditional crab fest. The Yenny Men make a good showing and sat to the last minute eating cleanup. We met some of Jonathon's friends' parents and enjoyed all of them. Seems like all the fun people are from Texas or Oklahoma these days.
I posted a few pics to the right (someday I will figure out my camera and get an inside pic that doesn't look awful)
