pace of chemotherapy
I’m coming to discover my own personal pace of chemotherapy. It seems that the day following, likely because of the use of steroids in the overall mix, I’m strong and high energy. Unfortunately, the following three days are marked by weakness and a non-stop need for sleep. The treatment was Monday, and it wasn’t until midnight Friday that I felt myself recovered to my usual energy level.
Happily the weekend was marked by a visit from old friends, down from the Seattle area, and Kate and I had joyous times (and meals, yum!) together. Sunday was even better since I had a chance to try my new ‘Theory of Everything’ role-playing experiment. Awesome game, mostly because the players were aways a couple of steps ahead of the Game Master, creating a truly remarkable set of theories (based on entirely new classes of particles, including ‘Entropons,’ ‘Observons’ and ‘Enigmons’). Thanks guys! See the picture for the whole group assembled.

Well, it sounds like you’re handling the chemo well, though; if extreme tiredness is the worst symptom you’re feeling then you’re not too bad off.
Keep up the gaming as much as you feel able! I’m convinced that games of all sort are condusive to the flow of good health: the tai chi of games, if you will.

Hi Erick,
I’m so sad to learn that you’re fighting cancer. I’ve been looking forward to getting back in touch with you after the holidays and just now stumbled upon this. My thoughts and good wishes are with you, friend. Fight the good fight and may you find the strength you need to beat this. It’s been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to more of the same.
Best Wishes,
Rich

Dear Erick,
I’m glad the chemo works and you’re having good time. Great to see Eric Todd in the photo. Is the guy on the leftmost Eric Snider?
With Love,
Clement
Yes, Clement, that is Eric Snider!

Good luck, Erick!
It sounds like you’re going to overcome this and pull through!
Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise!

Sunday’s game was made of Awesome. The hardest part for me was finding ways that dumb Nick-the-VC could inadvertently suggest things that me-the-player thought of.
I foresee great fun once the Vatican finds out that Enigmons might be the God particle. Jesuit Theological Assault Squads! Templar Dimensional Ninjas!

Ah, but the Holy Order knows this. Enigmons shall shape the universe and order shall be returned to the cosmos - those Observons, sullying seats of scrutinizing consciousness, must be crushed at all costs to keep the crystalline order in harmony. Oh joyous songs of praise everlasting! For the Rose is Nigh.

What a great game that was. Moreover, what amazing roleplaying by everyone - never knew venture capitalists had that depth of insight; well played, Jules! I had a great time meeting with old friends and new friends, and I am delighted you enjoyed it too, Erick.
