I havnt been around lately, i was too busy but i think this is a great opportunity for a quick update.
for a year now ive been working for a really cool internet company - i love it there.
Few months ago i got sick - Hodgkin disease - so i had 4 chemotherapy treatment (it sucks) and I had a CT scan last week which was clean - HOORAY ...BUT i still need to continue 4 more treatments and some radiations ......I hate it - next treatment - May 31st.
Anyway , during this time i continue to work which was good for me and for some strange reason i didnt even lose my hair.....oh well maybe it will happen in the next treatments......

The worst part of this update is that we had plans to visit Alaska between May 23rd - June 25th.....so .....Next year probably.

Update #2
I am 6 months after - my last treatment was on July 19 and they canceled my radiations since I was fine - :-)
I have a ct scan next week.....and that will be it for the next year - great

I am working on my thesis now - and surprisingly its about vt community (traveling communities but it is easier for me to do it about vt) so if you got 5 minutes or so pleasssssse go here: http://www.travelsadvice.com/vt.html and fill the form - it will help me a lot :-)

oh ye and we will be going for 2 weeks to Norway during June :-)

Thats it for now.....and here is the general crap I wrote about myself once...LOL
