in real life.
Here are some accounts of those that survived Brain Cancer.

Went into Santa Clara today and they are doing a bunch of construction. They
moved the fridge and they had a big sign informing of the need to move
personal items out of the fridge that was dated yesterday. I thought my
Nalgene bottle that I would never take camping would be lost forever.
Happily later in the day I found it in another fridge.

I went running. Maybe a bit too fast and the wind was blowing hard. I felt
like a leaf but I did stop a lot. A car full on Kenyans asked about getting
to Alcatraz. I explained and then asked them if they had anyone in their
country as fast as me.

My serves have been off today in Volleyball. I should hang out with Barry
Zito and Alex Smith. I was surprised to see posters with him on an ad.

We were watching a bulldog watch a smaller dog. I then provided a running
dialogue of what the larger dog was thinking in his thought bubbles
involving the smaller dog as an S N A C K. that is some humor with a narrow
audience.
