@DemocracySpot it's the story of my life in a nutshell

@DemocracySpot Yesterday, my sister and I agreed on the wording for Mom's grave marker. We decided not to add "Daughter, Wife, Mother, Critic."

In the meantime, great news! I had an exam yesterday afternoon at Kaiser and - two months after my latest butt surgery and two years after that summer of chemo and radiation - there was no sign of recurring anal cancer and my butt is almost completely healed. My surgeon was happy and I'm all smiles! No more surgeries!!!

Now we resume routine cancer monitoring: regular 4 month checkups for the next few years, and hopefully full victory after that.

Here is a picture of a hippo going w00t!!!

Yesterday, at Heron's Head Park. There weren't many birds for Chris... but I got the broody skies I was hoping for.

Grandma Bertie, Coney Island, 1928.

Bertie was a seamstress and milliner, and had very little money, so I'm guessing she made this outfit herself.

Bertie was obsessed with cleaning. She walked my mother to school and polished mom's shoes in the hallway before mom could enter a classroom. Her grandchildren were forbidden to walk in the center of the living room carpet ("you'll wear it out"). She had mothballs in every drawer and closet in the house, even inside our toy chest. And when her husband placed his wooden leg at his bedside every night, Bertie waited until he fell asleep so she could put it away in the closet where it belongs (god forbid he had to get up in the middle of the night to pee).

My mother's last memory of Grandpa Eddie was him sitting on a metal chair placed on cardboard in the middle of his living room. The cardboard protected the carpet... and Grandpa wasn't allowed to sit on the upholstered couch ("you'll get it dirty").

I miss Bertie. She died in 1992, age 94.

Daly City. Very Daly City.

I had this shot in mind for a few months but had to wait until the Spring for the fog to roll back in.

Going through my archives, I found one of my favorite portraits.
Taken in the Castro a dozen years ago.
