Thanksgiving

Played football today at our church congregation's annual "turkey bowl."  The youth and adults gather at a local park, and we play two-handed touch football.  While we were setting up the field, I walked with the head of our congregation -- a good friend of mind named Bryan, who also is a patent lawyer (our church has an all-lay clergy).  I told him of my diagnosis, and watched as he processed the news.  Aside from my family, we had not yet spread the word.  He wanted to know all about it, and I realized that just repeating what the doctor had told me was not enough.  I'll be spending much of the Thanksgiving holiday doing more research.
