...that's what I'm going to call this now.  I  created this quasi-weblog for a number of reasons: chief among them were a crisis for our cat Skywise, and my collaborator, Max, being diagnosed with cancer.  I intended to post these entries  as I wrote them, but I found myself  less than organized after awhile, when all hell broke loose: I've yet to catch up since then.  My entries started as handwritten notes,   Please bear with me.  Unfortunately, I've misplaced some of the earliest notes I had on a disk that I was going to transfer later to the site.    Failing that, I'll try to transcribe them.  Ironically, what I've found starts with Max's cancer being definitively diagnosed, followed by his surgery the next day.  

I have a feeling this endeavor will evolve over time, so we'll see where it goes.
