December 21

I again want to thank all those individuals that have sent a comment to me on this blog. I can't say enough how much they mean to me and how much they help lift my spirits. Together all of you will help me beat this thing and help make me stronger. Please never stop sending your thoughts my way (I also really love the repeat senders as well as the new senders). As for today, it has been great. The only negative is that I have no appetite and nothing tastes very good. So I am just eating for the calories and certainly not for the taste. Today I was pleased to go for walks with Barry, my brother Brad, nephew Brad Jr., daughter Tory, son-in-law Chris, and finally my wife. Together I put in about six miles. Felt great! The more miles I put in, the better. I may not be running right now, but at least I am going at a nice walking pace. I hope everyone is getting ready for a super Christmas and is able to spend a lot of family time together. Thanks again for all your caring. It is greatly appreciated.

Great to have you providing your updates. We need to follow your progress through all of this. As we all expect you are "Living Strong"!

I am very anxious to get over for a stroll, or whatever works on that day. I am enticed by your reports of walking to Great Harvest.

I have an amusing, I think, story of moving DC into the modern world of HDTV. The best laid plans of Tom,Steve and myself hit a few bumps along the way but that is the story so you will have to wait for the details.

The end of the year is a very busy time for us here with BB tournaments and prep for the Winter term.

Keep up the blog reports, I know there are plenty of us who are encouraged and inspired by them.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Be in touch soon.

Hello, Ron: You inspire with your determination and appreciation for friends and family; thanks for sharing your thoughts. We'll be making our first downhill ski outing of the season today at our local mountain (Snoqualmie Summit) and we'll be thinking of you with every run (assuming, of course, that we can see through the falling snow and low hanging fog).
Yours, Tina

Hi Ron,
I just had a wonderful visit with your Mom. She gave me the web site address and I just finished reading every word on it. What a great avenue for you and for us to keep up-to-date on your health. Ernie and I have you in our thoughts and prayers and wish you only the best. Give our best to the kids. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and Kathy and the family.

Lindell and Ernie Johnson
