Brain cancer is...

...a chance to revisit classic colors!

Turns out Darrell was onto something with that classic gray. He's got me thinking...

Meanwhile, in other news:  Today's Updates

• No BFBC Baby.  Phew.
• Treatment 2 out of 30 went well.  Darrell learned to breathe through his teeth.  This super hero skill should make treatments 3-30 in the mask even easier.
• The ray gun's official name is "linear accelerator."  It uses high energy x-rays, not gamma rays.  Huh. It costs about $3 million.
• Tiana had Darrell ask whether the linear accelerators in Treatment Rooms 1 and 2 have friendly pet names.  Not yet.  I think Team Darrell might be able to brainstorm some useful suggestions, yes?
• Gratitude journal entry 1:  I am grateful to the Cancer Center personnel and artists who had the foresight to place such a beautiful, uplifting mosaic mural in the entry of the treatment facility.
• Gratitude journal entry 2:  We are particularly appreciative that the birds in the mosaic are parrots.  Fullerton has a flock of parrots that, with their squawks, remind us that we are home.  

• Zach tidbit:  Parrots are highly intelligent and live in complex social structures.  Thus they have a high need for sophisticated communication skills. Those "squawks" apparently convey lots of information to flock mates, including noises that represent individual birds, just as we call each other by name. Thus, parrot flock behavior is much like the behaviors of Team Darrell, a complex organization of highly intelligent, sophisticated members. Love you.
