Today, I have to wish a happy birthday (22 years). I also have to congratulate the Slurpee (bought to you by our friends at 7-Eleven) a happy anniversary/birthday, as it turns forty today.

Diane Update
I got an email from Diane yesterday morning (I’ve been delaying posting about it). She is not well AT ALL. It appears the type of leukemia she has is Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), which normally develops when there has been a high exposure to radiation and benzene.

Southernmost Point
