Five Is the Magic Number.

 Brain cancer is...

 

...reframing.

"Reframing" is like "looking at the bright side" except it doesn't involve ignoring the "not-bright" side.  It's looking at the same issue in different ways.

Today we reframed like champions.  We had to because we attempted the impossible.  We dared to go where no Optune user has gone before:  On a heat-of-the-day So Cal walk on array change day.

 

My work schedule didn't allow for a morning walk, and our natural break came at midday, not in the evening as the temperature might drop.

 

Because this journey promised to be a difficult one, I asked Darrell, "How many times does Optune need to alarm before we call it done and turn around?"

 

"Five!" was the magic number.  

 

One...

 

Two...

Three...

(Observer's note:  Darrell was still saying, "This one doesn't count!" on Alarm #3.  That's when the reframing began.  We agreed to see any distance as a win, not each alarm as a fail.)

Four...

Five!

By the magic number five, Darrell was ready to agree:  Three miles in the heat of the day is a win!

Here's hoping that you too were, if needed, successful at today's reframes, Team D!

Today's Blooms

Lucky us!  You were about to be treated to more yellow at the park.  Cue Ryan and Charlene and Kristine:

 

Always be yellow.  Unless you can be...

 

...colors I don't even have names for.
