Update on Gaely GoLightly
Doubly good news, according to the results from the endoscope!
Gaely’s tumor has shrunk greatly since we started antibiotics last week.
The tumor is located in an area where it can be surgically removed if need be.
There is much happiness in the dog house! We are hoping that the biopsy will report an inflammation [...]

Back Story
My friend Colin has developed a new clothing passion that happens to be one I share. He posted about it at the end of his blog entry yesterday and I made a silly reply that directed him to my saved draft but unpublished picture of a Sherwani designed by Armani for their haute [...]
Finding Family, Friends and Teachers in Palm Springs
Whew. It’s snowing here today. I’ve been gone for 3 weeks and now I am home, slowly recovering from a complete change in my environment, my solitary personal style and occupations.
My being away completed the break in the jobs I was training others to do. I am finally freed from [...]
