Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2009. We took Mattie up to NYC to start his immunotherapy treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering. In between doctor appointments and infusions of medicine and fluids, we took Mattie around town. One of the things we did was visit the top of the Empire State Building. This was something NONE of us had ever done before and most likely will not have the opportunity to do again. I will never forget that day because there were no lines or crowds. It was the perfect day to tour the building and all the elevator operators were extremely nice with Mattie.

On Monday, my parents will be flying into Washington, DC. They don't normally visit during the cold weather season, but my mom is getting inducted into her school's Faculty Hall of Honors. In fact, this is an inaugural event, as she and 20 other teachers will be the first to be recognized. Such a special event needs to be recognized, so I encouraged my parents to attend and I will go with them. Needless to say we have a long car trip ahead of us on Tuesday, and I will be doing the driving. That might not sound bad, but I am directionally challenged even in my own city. Now I will be crossing multiple state lines.
It was a busy day and it is 10pm! I am still working, as I try to balance Foundation needs, and all the coordination and planning needed for our trip. So I am signing off for tonight.... until tomorrow.
