(no subject)

No ribbon at the county fair this year.  One week until Newport Folk Festival.  Two weeks until Ohio State Fair.

Hmm, this was saved in draft for several weeks.  Newport Folk Festival was very good, my favorite this year turned out to be Langhorne Slim.  I got their CD at the concert and didn't like it the first listen through, but the raging beat and hooks have gotten to me by the third listen.  And they have a really intense drummer.

No Ohio State Fair.  I'm hoping Juli is feeling better this month.  Instead I went to the quilt show in Lowell, and caught a Dar Williams concert there.  Outdoors, sitting in a low chair on the blankets with hot dog and whoopie pie, was great.
I also watched the New England Revolution lose to LA Galaxy and Landon Donovan.  It was cool sitting on the west side of the stadium with the larger crowd, the energy would have been better if we'd won.  (There was one guy behind us whooping it up for the LA goals.)

Cancer count

Looking over the notes from my oncology referrals the past few months, in my practice we have:  13 breast cancers (2 metastatic, 4 localized, 5 in situ), 3 lymphomas, 2 lung cancers, and one each of ovary, melanoma, prostate, cecum, colon, neck, leukemia, and carcinoid.  This is not an official count of all the cancers in my practice (I'm sure I'm undercounting the stable breast cancers and prostate cancers) but it's an interesting look at the diversity in one family practice.
