Thanks "T". It does seem to me that I am in good hands. Hopefully it turns out correct,

Tony, that sounds lovely, hope you had a blast!. Last time I went dancing was the weekend before my surgery. But I am going tomorrow to a big local charity ball called "Dance for the Cure". It is organized by my dance coaches and all the money goes to American Cancer Association. Lots of good shows by dance professionals and some social dancing too. Last year I helped organize it, funny how quickly life turns around.

This is a birthday present from my old dance partner as I am turning 36 today. My first birthday with cancer. Going to a nice french restaurant tonight with some friends and will attempt to eat my first steak since the surgery.

Hope everyone is having a nice long weekend!
