Last Tuesday, my girlfriend found out she had a large growth of an undetermined nature on her ovaries. She had further tests done at U of M hospital on Thursday which indicated there was a good chance it might be cancerous. Ovarian cancer, if you don't know, has a very low survival rate. We subsequently celebrated Christmas with this sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. Today she went in for surgery. I am happy to report that the surgery went well and that the growth was benign. She does not have cancer after all. There has been much celebrating in Ann Arbor, Michigan tonight.

Even athiests like us get lucky once in a while.

I'm glad everything turned out alright. Ann Arbor eh? Remember Paul Pochel? Whitehouse? Do you play at the Ann Arbor chess club? I'm only 40 miles from there.

I've been to their store, but I've never played at the Ann Arbor chess club. Maybe I should one of these days.

That's very good news!!

I can feel the relief here. It's obviously against my principles, but I'll crack open a bottle of wine and drink it for the two of you this evening.
