Comments from the wife, version 3.5
05/13/2004 12:36 PMGreat 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.

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

hurting her. I didn't stay long because of the flood of phone calls

been a very tough road for Kris, but I think a big part of staying so

from everyone who sent "mojo" her way and encouragement with all the
donations (by the way, final score . . .

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.

Comments from the wife, version 3.0
Comments from the wife, version 3.0
02/12/2004 11:35 PMA 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?Wife released without charge
