Happy Holidays

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are getting a little winter break right now. Byron's happy to be getting a little break - the holidays mean we have to wait until the 6th for our next appt with the oncologist, so he gets an extra week between treatments - yea! We are looking forward to the appointment, though, because we will have some info from the CT scans taken last week. Hopefully they will show the tumors are shrinking. If so, Byron will go back in for a couple more rounds of this chemo. If not, he probably won't get out of chemo, he'll just get to try different drugs. We are hoping for good news and of course we'll keep you posted.

We had a great time at Yoli's house for the Scary Day after Christmas. It is great to be in the company of so many creative souls. We totally lucked out in the white elephant game and got not only a piece of art from Yoli but also a beautiful collage of photos of the gang put together by Nicole. Thanks to Cy for making copies for everyone! Another very special gift was a piece made by Nik Caesar "in the style of Kathy Blackburn." Nice. My favorite part? The labels that tell you where it needs to be blue.

Byron's tired but feeling pretty good. He played with Ross at Old Soul this morning. It is so good for him to be able to play. Ross used his new X-mas video camera to record the 2nd set, so hopefully you can see it on You Tube soon. Unfortunately, it was a bit of an expensive day for the musicians, because both Ross's and our car were towed. Apparently they have decided to crack down on parking around Old Soul - beware. Luckily for us, Alecia was available to make the save. Too bad we didn't get a photo of the lovely West Sac impound yard for you. Instead, a stock photo of Ross at Old Soul for your enjoyment.
