Today is day one of my annual solo cross-country drive and it was a good one. These long days of driving alone are like stepping out of time. I'm reminded of a bit I saw on MTV years ago where a guy said his car was a time machine: he pointed backwards and said that was the past, pointed forwards and said that was the future, and inside the car is the present. I have always liked that idea.

The owner of the motel where I'm staying tonight has the most majestic African violet I have ever seen in the lobby. He offered me a cutting from it but unfortunately I don't have anything to put it in while I travel. I'm thinking of doing some googling about it tonight and seeing if there's a way to make it work, though, because there is a For Sale sign in the lobby, too, so this could be my last chance to raise a descendant of that plant. Which, I think he said, belonged to his great-grandmother! The For Sale sign is for the motel, not the violet.

On January 12 I learned that I had cancer: high grade ductal carcinoma in situ, which is stage 0 breast cancer. On Valentine's Day I had surgery to remove it. I started three weeks of radiation, five days per week, on March 31. So I'm basically fine now.

Wanna read more about it? ( Click for the TL;DR. )

I'm planning to delete my facebook account after recently learning that Zuckerberg donated a million dollars to Trump's inaugural event. So I'm also thinking of making more public posts here because I have developed an unhealthy need to share things on the internet. We'll see how it goes.
