Shady Adventures...OR...Looking for Cool

Brain cancer is...

...desperately seeking cool.

Sunday our air conditioner broke.

Monday it was...

...108 degrees at 2 pm. Of course!  Murphy's law of air conditioning?

Necessity is, as they say, the parent of invention!  Here are some of our inventive approaches for shady adventures.

First, mall walks: 

Very cool, but a bit overwhelming.  Does anyone really buy a mattress at the mall?  A Tesla? 

Today was a bit cooler, so we made it to Craig Park for our walk.

We needed to protect Darrell's Optune from heat, so he led evasive maneuvers:

For instance, we frequently went straight up.  "Where we're going, we don't need roads!"

Even the ducks were thinking creatively to stay in the shade:

Once again we looked again to Beowulf for inspiration:

Car air conditioning?  Seven pounds of brilliance!

Fortunately, the cooling trend continues, and the air conditioner will be replaced Monday. 

Also...we are receiving kind offers of cool air from family, neighbors, and other Team D. members.  Thanks so much!  

Cancer Eradication Updates

• The speech therapist called Darrell today to set up a schedule.  Brave, brave Darrell. He's going back.
• This is chemo week.  This round has been a bit tougher on Darrell's digestive tract, but his spirits are still good.  Tonight, when I suggested he have a bowl of broccoli with his tacos, he accused me of badgering the witness.  Only two more days of chemo this month after tonight.
• Today Big D's arrays literally melted off his head.  They have a sticky gel that makes contact with his scalp and protects him from the ceramic contacts.  He looked like a gooey, sticky snowman head.  No one could wear it better!

We are thinking of you and yours, Team D.  Happy Hump Day!
