     Cold foggy morning or maybe rain clouds are in the sky.  My writing friends are coming this morning to write again.  We are shifting to Saturday mornings to meet.

     I am starting to take an additional blood pressure medication.  I was proud of being on few prescribed medications, but no more.  The doctor made me do it.  I suspect the chemo therapy has messed with my blood pressure. So, the plan is to continue with monthly docetaxel chemo for the next year. Good news, they don’t expect me to die right away.

     After watching the news, I start a new netflix show with subtitles called THE TRAUMA CODE. A south Korean medical drama comedy. I am not sure I laugh at the right moments. Fast paced, silly and very foreign. And maybe it is not a comedy, hard to tell. But I am hooked, definitely a vacation from my serious intense life.

     I am continuing to read THE COST OF FREE LAND. The immigrant story reminds me of the family stories of my Italian grandparents escape from Italy in the early twentieth century.
