Keith,


Unfortunately, I know this word well from my days as a rocket scientist. I'll send you a def by tomorrow afternoon if it stands, though.

Sorry to hear about her diagnosis. Glioblastoma is a tough one.

Efrem Mallach: "I just tend to refer to complex things as brain surgery, not rocket science, because I know rocket science ain't all that hard."

Ha! Kind of a funny story, here.

My second oldest daughter had to have surgery for what turned out to be a Glioblastoma, the thing that ultimately got John McCain. Everybody else that was there for her cleared off just before they were ready to take her into the OR. I took her hand and asked something really profound like, "You okay?" (What a dad, eh?)

"I don't know," she said. "You know how whenever people want to say that something is not all that complicated they say," It's NOT brain surgery? Well, this is brain surgery."

And we both had a big laugh. She was quite a girl.
