Making Waves and Swabbing Students



Jeff’s hair is becoming unruly.

Five years ago this month Jeff and his hair parted company.  Several months later it grew in silky soft, thin and manageable.  Lately, however, his old wave has been giving him fits – right there in front, a sideways S, not the thickness of the old days but the shape just as it used to be, freakishly familiar to me.  And to Jeff, annoyingly uncooperative.

 A few explanations for the return of the wave have been tousled around:  going to bed with a wet head, the barber left too much length, he shaped it differently, a change of shampoo is in order.  None of this matters to me, though.  I am just tickled to see that at almost five years post-BMT Jeff still shows signs of recovery. 

This Saturday evening Daughter Kim, Jeff and I will participate in Rider University’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life.  We will attend the Survivor’s Dinner and take the Survivor and Caregiver Laps and then we will swab cheeks – hopefully, LOTS of them – for Gift of Life.  If you are so inclined, follow the Relay for Life link on the right and make a donation to our team, Bist Du Stark (Are You Strong?).
