My body has to go where my itinerary takes it. Since the wedding, we have been quite busy. Last weekend Barbie and I attended the AUA (American Urologic Association) meeting in San Francisco. It has been six years since I have attended a medical convention. It was wonderful to reconnect with friends and colleagues that I haven't seen in years. We stayed at the Hotel Nikko and Barbie caught up on a years worth of shopping that has eluded her while she has been overwhelmed with school. We sampled the best ice cream (Mitchells) and the best chocolate (TCHO) in San Francisco. Back for one and a half days to do surgery and get chemotherapy; then off to Denver for the itinerant wedding party. In the third and final installment of this perpetual celebration, we were guests of Jason's parents, Bob and Pam Hammond. Rebecca has truly married into a wonderful family. To introduce us to the mile high city, we climbed (in a car) another 10,000 feet to admire America the Beautiful from atop Pikes Peak. I generally get anoxic atop a 6 foot ladder, let alone gasping for oxygen molecules at 14,110 feet. The deep blue azure sky overhanging an unobstructed view for hundreds of miles in all directions was to inspire awe. As we searched the far reaching horizons of space, I thought of Rebecca and Jason as they break forth together toward their horizons of time. The opportunities seem limitless. The next day they continued their eastward journey to Chicago where Rebecca will begin her summer internship in advertising. The reception in Highland Ranch was beautiful and, as an added bonus, we were able to visit with Barbie's Aunt Renie and her husband Ed. We were also thrilled to see the Fluckigers from Connecticut, who now live in Parker, Colorado. The timing of the chemotherapy on Thursday was inconvenient and I had to frequently sit down, but life doesn't wait. The race isn't over yet; two more weddings this week, a family reunion next week and on it goes. I wouldn't have it any other way.
