MSK Run, June 10th

MSKCC "ROCK AND RUN ON THE RIVER"

Sloan Kettering is having an event on June 10 to raise money for their programs for cancer survivors. There is a 5K walk/run along the Hudson River followed by food, music, activities, etc. at Hudson River Park's Pier 46. Even if you don't want to walk or run, you can buy tickets for "Brunch on the River" for $15 and show your support the old fashioned way -- by eating. For information on how to register, or if you just want to drop by on the day and show your support or make a donation, copy/paste: .

SLEEP arrived again Wed. night. Thurs. another busy day: 6 am, bag of Chemo, 10, visit Peter;10:30 Pastels workshop, Noon eat;
3:00 Rock/Country Guitarist performed on a Kramer (see New Yorker mag this week) with an effect which has his voice singing harmonies in real time; then a snack; then CB arrives; 4:30 Yoga session with Drew (Namaste), Yankees loose (Ouch that hurts), Supper, then a Classical Guitarist visits my room to play some Villa-Lobos on an amazing Classical guitar he just bought in Australia. He played an encore for Carol as well. Beautiful. Sleep came better Thurs again, until my roomates beeping pump went off 3x at 2 am, so that's why I'm writing now (2:30 am). Will checkout a few new CDs until I can sleep again. Last bags of the hot stuff star Fri night and Sat am, then home Sat. afternoon. We continue to hear individual stories of patients dealing here. It's an awfully tough grind for most everybody. So far I consider myself extremely fortunate. My body seems to be responding to the therapy w/o damage to my other organs,; your support has been amazing; Carol's support is amazing, all my family. I'm seeing a different part of the world, no not Costa Rica or China, both of which we had to cancel, but an incredible Medical world. The real deal. NYC and its brains. I'm lucky to be here. Peace and Thanks. JIMBO
