A great evening - the pictures say it all! (and then a few words at the end)

Earlier in the day, Chloe went with me to the clinic for day 26 of my radiation treatments.  Thank you!

One other thing to mention today.  Game 7 of the NBA finals was tonight.  I watched the last six minutes with Sarah and Danielle after the grandchildren went home and to bed.  I was simply hoping for a great game fully expecting it to go to the last few seconds between two classic warrior teams.  It was everything I thought it would be - actually a shame they both couldn't win because they both wanted it so bad and played defense so well.

There have been 64 NBA finals in history.  Over half have been won by either the Celtics (17) or the Lakers (16).  Twelve of those finals have been Lakers vs. Celtics.  Five have gone to game 7.  I grew up watching the Celtics win those every time, usually by two points at the end of the game.  Tonight was the first time the Lakers won, and again very close, by just 4 points after the Celtics were ahead almost the entire game.

Thank you to both teams for showing the legacy of a passionately smiling tortoise.  Never, never, NEVER giving up -- persistent to the end!  It was a joy to watch.
