2023 Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festival. What a beautiful day to be alive. Here I am with Peg Allen and Jacob Utley.

Peg and I celebrated our anniversary with lots of peace, love, and hope, along with a box of chocolate and wonderful bouquet of flowers courtesy of Jacob.
Happy anniversary Peg. Here is our classic wedding reception photo taken in 1980 at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Eden Park Park. 42 years strong. Life is good!
Happy birthday Sandye. I miss you. She loved this photo I took of her and wild and crazy Nigel Kennedy after his concert at the Kennedy Center and before a wild late night of mad fun and fiddle playing. The man loves to party. She was so very happy. (It was marked up by Nigel)
This is a poem I wrote to describe my unexpected hospitalization and my week in a COVID/Oncology Critical Care unit for a week. youtube.com/watch?v=AhSesajm…

World cancer day 4 February 2020 This marks my 4th year as a stage 4 cancer survivor. My cancer is stable and for now I am living faster than I am dying. And I am very much at Peace. Life is good.
