cooper cancer


never mind ddt, living in long island, electric lines, genetically modified foods, and global warming.

jane has decided that the mini cooper is to blame for her breast cancer! it's the bad-luck-mobile! now, we are not normally superstitious, but please understand, that little faux-bmw has been smashed to smithereens more times than lindsay lohan has been admitted to rehab! from the front, from the back, from the sides it's been crumpled. hit and run, ploughed from behind on the highway, or just plain pileup - we're not fussy, as long as the yellow and black bee is in the shop! and now, a dent on the newly replaced hood, which occured while i was in africa (and obviously not driving the car).

so we feel like it's our bad luck charm - our anti talisman - that's the root of all evil. had a bad day? blame it on the mini. kenya's chaos? the cooper. demise of the dollar? yep, you guessed it!

so we need to get rid of it quickly before our house is swept away, or woodbury is hit by errant tornadoes, etc.! as soon as we sell it, all will return to normal, world peace will reign, and we will all live in health and happiness!!

(oh, if it were only that easy!).

jane is doing great, very sleepy but otherwise well - no pain, nausea, just some fatigue. she is actually a good patient today - shocking - and does indeed rest without me threatening to tie her down to the bed. another day recedes into night, time for bed and some real r&r ... we may even make it to the city to catch the new museum tomorrow!

bonne nuit,

h
