Big C, Little C
i got a call from my father yesterday, that is the little c. after going through the whole how are things going schtick he informs me that he is going in for surgery next month. to remove a . that is the big c.
i could babble on about how i poked fun about it not being lung cancer, how i'm disappointed that he isn't asking to keep it or get pictures. he thinks he'd be better served with the pathologist getting it. yeah, but what fun is that?
more than anything, i'm a bit stunned. why am i even writing this here -- i know i'm going to be asked? simply to note this moment in time. a moment that 94,000 people get to tell people every year. given that we are about 241 days into the year, i declare my dad victim #62,065 in 2005. there's a daily dose of mortality.
i think that is all i have to say for now.
