Where do we live?

Where do you live? That innocent question has been difficult to answer lately. But now that we have made the decision to sell our property in British Columbia, it is becoming easier… we live in Bellingham. There is no better way to put the word “cancer” out of your mind than to immerse yourself into a new community. There are all the details to take care of like opening up a new bank account, checking out the public library, introducing ourselves to the Buddhist meditation center, getting to know the folks at the Avenue Bread and Deli, and finding a veterinarian for Misty. And last night Bob attended a Whatcom County Council meeting to support a proposed sales tax increase to bolster mental health and substance abuse treatment. Members of the public packed the council's chambers to speak on the tax and in more than 31/2 hours of public testimony more than 50 people spoke in favor of it. A retired Clinical Psychologist, Bob already has more than a passing interest in the subject. Now that we live in Bellingham and it is a community issue, it takes on even more importance.

Oops! Today my hair has begun to fall out.
