Yesterday was an exciting morning of fishing, followed by an evening of colonoscopy prep. While fishing, Erica caught a 7 lb trout. Her friend Derek caught a 5 lb trout. Both are bigger than any trout that I'll probably every catch. They were both thrilled.
After drinking my fill of colonoscopy prep beverage last night (3/4 of a gallon), I started my day at 4 am by drinking the remainder (1/4 of a gallon). By 6:30 am, we were on our way to Kaiser. We parked at 6:47 am and I checked in at 7:02. 15 minutes later, they had me in a gown, laying around, with an IV poking out of the back of my hand. It went like clockwork. I woke up from the procedure and heard good news. No polyps and no evidence of any new cancer or tumors in my colon. The drive home was a blur--I hardly remember it at all. I spent most of the day on the couch and finally got up and moving around 4 pm. Now, I'm just tired and plan to spend the rest of the evening relaxing, happy with the good news of the day.
By the way, click here for a link to a great news story about children with cancer and some very cool construction workers. It's worth having a look at. There's a video on the page. Enjoy.

That's great news about the colonoscopy report. Congratulations.
I can't believe a 7 lb. trout. Pictures?
Have a good Sunday.
With Love,

Today was one of the better days that we have had in the past year.
When Robin and I talked to the doctor and he told us that everything looked good it made our day.
Today was a very good day.
Love, Dad
