The orchid, I think is the most beautiful variety of flower. If not for my black thumb I'd gladly devote some time to growing this gorgeous flowers. The main link is to the Internet Orchid Photo Encyclopedia. There's apparently a cultural phenomena involving orchids that even includes tails of theft. A case of Nicaraguan theft has even been likened to rape. NOVA has done an episode on it, which sadly I haven't seen. They're an amazingly diverse species.

A Wife, A Son, and A Mountain of Luggage

A Wife, A Son, and A Mountain of Luggage 07/21/2004 04:49 PM

On Sunday, my wife and son returned from Korea.  They also brought a mountain of luggage, two full carts worth.  Since my wife and I already had more than a decade of arguments over her seemingly unbreakable habit of moving mountains across oceans, all I could do was sigh and hug.

My wife and I are on the extreme opposites when it comes to luggage.  I despise luggage so I travel very light.For a month long trip to Europe, I would take two underwears, two pairs of socks, two T-shirts, one jean, one slack, one jacket, and a pair of running shoes.  Since I am going to be wearing one set of everything plus the jacket and the shoes, the spares could fit comfortably into a small carry-on.  If the jacket has big pockets, I could travel without any bags but I use the carry-on to avoid getting grilled by immigration officers.  And on my trips, I rarely buy anything I have to carry.  If it's something big, I ship it. 

My wife, on the other hand, carries everything.Her annual trips to Korea usually starts with increasing shopping activities a month or two before the trip.  In buying her gifts, she ignores logic completely.  I have seen her buying goods made in Korea as gifts to take back to Korea.  On this trip, she brought back goods she bought at Costco in Korea, goods made right here in California.  She said they were on sale over there and saving a few bucks on pots and pans made perfect sense to her.  Oy.

And much of the luggage was food.  For example, she brought back two boxes of ramyeon, dry noodle in a cup.  Of course, our local Korean markets sell them by boxes too but my wife said these are fresher.  Fresh instant noodle?  Arghhhh!

When I was growing up in Korea, I frequently saw a Korean women carrying heavy stuff while her husband walked ahead with hands behind his back.  Until I got married I didn't understand why Korean husbands weren't helping their wives.  Why?  It's because they already had their decade of fruitless arguments and all of them reached the same compromise.  As for me, I help out despite my frustrations but also try to avoid travelling with her to Korea.

Between Mars and Venus lies an impenetrable astroid field of luggage.

Great news about Kris!

In my last entry, I mentioned Kris would be going into City of Hope one last time to spend a week getting medication that would boost her immune system. That was done last week. I wasn't able to visit her because she was feeling very pukey and tired. It was more important for her to get her rest anyway. She came home on Saturday. I called to check in on her Monday but her son said she was sleeping and that he was staying with her all day to take care of her. So I called her on Tuesday and she sounded great. We talked about our kids, Mother's Day (she slept through most of her Mother's Day) and how she was feeling. She was doing much better after sleeping for most of the past few days. She said she spoke with her friend Debbie about how well she was doing. Debbie is the wife of her friend that died from the same type of leukemia she has. Debbie commented on how much further Kris has come through treatment than Debbie's husband did (he died from pneumonia after the radiation treatments.) It's so sad to think that she had a friend who was diagnosed a year before she was but didn't make it. But at the same time, I'm so relieved that she toughed it out through all this and stayed healthy. I know a big part of her motivation is being at the finish line with our marathon. Yesterday, Kris went to her doctor to have a pump put in that will give her the same immune boosting medication for another ten days. This is like a jump start kick to make sure all of the leukemia stays away. She said she doesn't feel as sick as when she was in the hospital last week. She feels like she has a mild case of the flu. But, she says, she'll survive. I know she will too.

A much needed update on Kris.

I haven't had a chance to write about Kris' progress in over a month (last entry was March 10th when she came home from the hospital). I saw Kris at home the day after she left the hospital. She was very happy to be home but looked tired. She had lost most of her hair again and the blisters on her hands and feet from treatment were really hurting her. I didn't stay long because of the flood of phone calls and visitors stopping by. I hugged her goodbye, and told her I'd see her next week.

It's here! Kris made it! One hundred days of treatment for leukemia. This was the biggest goal for her and she did it!

I am so happy to be able to write this with such a happy ending. It's been a very tough road for Kris, but I think a big part of staying so strong and focused on getting this far was all of the support she got from everyone who sent "mojo" her way and encouragement with all the donations (by the way, final score . . . $27,535.) Kris is feeling great and is going to be waiting at the finish line when we do the marathon in San Diego this Sunday.

We went to visit Kris in the hospital today. Her spirits were up and she looked great. She spent the week doing her radiation treatments and did her final chemo on Saturday. Today was a day of rest as far as any treatment goes. Tomorrow is the big day. Transplant day. I will be donating platelets to her tomorrow as she will need a great deal of these after her transplant. Kris wrote something down that she wanted me to post for her. So this is from Kris.

"I'm Brian and so's my wife"

"I'm Brian and so's my wife" 03/06/2004 02:02 AM

I'm subscribed to a whole bunch of mailing lists, mostly as a lurker as I have a hard enough time just keeping up with some of them. One of those lists is Bugtraq, which is pretty much required reading for anyone with sysadmin responsibilities for a server connected to the public internet. Bugtraq is the central hub of the "public disclosure" security community and is actually surprisingly low traffic with only twenty or so messages a day. It's fascinating to watch the latest exploits for all manner of popular software packages tick by on an hourly basis.

Last week, someone posted to the list asking if anyone knew of a contact address for the security team at Bank of America. Today, they posted a follow-up which included the following gem:

I'd also like to thank the 0-day social engineers for their variety of approaches used to attempt to gain access to this exploit. We received responses ranging from fraudulent "Bank of America" employees to phone calls from people claiming to be from Bank of America's IT Security. (One caller claimed to be from Bank of America's IT Security but didn't know what PGP is and then said he couldn't give his PGP key due to security restrictions. And when we asked him to provide information so we could verify the contact, he said he would call back but never did. To this caller: Yes, your social engineering failed and your caller-id spoofing was almost perfect. Emphasis on "almost".)

For some reason, I'm reminded of a classic scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian.

A year and a half ago, Wil and I participated in the Avon 3 day breast cancer walk. We didn't know anyone with breast cancer. We just wanted to help raise money for research and be part of the walk-a thon. It was by far the most incredible experience of our lives. Between the two of us, we raised over $17,000. We always knew we'd do something like this again.
What I didn't realize, was that I would be doing something like this because one of my very close friends would be diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. My 45 year old friend, a wife, a mother of two, an active, loved member of the community, was just diagnosed with a life threatening disease.
Kris went to the doctor just before Labor Day weekend to pick up some antibiotics before heading out of town with her family. She hadn't been feeling well and just assumed it was some kind of infection. The doctor wanted to do a blood test just to make sure everything was alright. After the weekend, she was called by her doctor to come in immediately, and to bring her husband because something was wrong with her blood. A bone marrow test confirmed the doctor's suspicion. Leukemia. She received the news and was told to be at the hospital by the end of the day to spend a month doing chemotherapy.
After the month of treatment, and two separate week long treatments, along with several blood and platelet transfusions, Kris is in remission. Her doctor at City of Hope Cancer Hospital wants to do a stem cell transplant on her now because she's doing so well. This gives her a better chance of the leukemia not returning.
For the week prior to her stay at City of Hope, Kris was taking anti-seizure medication and going to her doctor to do chemotherapy tests before beginning her intensive treatment. When she begins her stay on February 13, she will be doing several days of chemotherapy followed by several days of full body radiation therapy. Then they will transplant the stem cells they harvested from her (she was not a match with her brother, children, or the National Donor Registry). This option gives her a better chance of her body not rejecting the transplant. Then the slow recovery begins.
It has been the most difficult thing in the world to see Kris go through this. She is a very strong person and I have no doubt this will just be another one of life's obstacles she hurdles right over. But to feel so helpless at doing anything for her has been the hardest part.
Which is why Wil and I decided we would be part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's marathon. We will be walking 26.2 miles in San Diego this June to help raise money for a cure. Since we can't donate our blood (not the right type) we can at least donate our feet. Our goal is to raise $25,000. A very small percentage of the daily funding needed for research.
Kris is so happy we are doing this in her honor. She already plans on being at the finish line with us so we can all celebrate this huge victory.
Here's a link to our Team In Training Homepage. Please visit it, and help us reach our goal. Kris, along with thousands of other people dealing with this disease, need our help and encouragement.
Wil here, with a final thought: We kicked massive ass in the Avon 3 Day, and raised over 17,000 dollars in about six months. My stats tell me that about half a million different people read this site each month. Even more read it through various forms of syndication. Can you imagine how much we could do if you all kicked in a dollar, or two dollars? If every person who visits this site were to collect change and stuff for a day, and sponsor us for that amount, we would, together, contribute over ONE MILLION DOLLARS to help fund research that could save Kris's life.
Think about the power you have. Isn't it wonderful?
