Family Disclosures

Brain cancer is...

...making full disclosure.

You know what Tuesday is, Friends!  Speech day!  Hurrah!  Darrell's still a bit fatigued from the chemo, but he marched into Kristin's office and talk, talk, talked.

One thing he does at speech is carry on "typical" conversations with Kristin: 

Kristin:  You've told me you have dogs.
Darrell:  Yes, two, our sons' dogs.  We have a Yorkie named Beowulf.  And we have a huge baby chocolate Lab named Mousse.
Kristin:  Ah, that's right.  But you have no cats though?  You're not cat people?
Darrell:  Oh, we like cats.  We just don't have one.

And then Darrell's quote of the day:  "However we do have a gecko."

He speaks the truth.  We do have a gecko.  We think we haven't mentioned him before, so we wanted you to know.  Team D has a gecko.  Full disclosure.

Summer and Char

Char (Charles) is a leopard gecko and has been with Summer since she was an undergrad at UC Santa Barbara.

We promise:  No other secret pets.
