Even in Kyoto

Thank you, gfrancie.

Overall, I think he's holding up fairly well these days. He and my mom went on a road trip out to visit the bristlecone pine forest in the eastern Sierras recently, and that trip was a big highlight for him, what with getting to walk among the oldest living things on the planet.

That said, I know he's bummed about having to go through more chemotherapy because it's such a huge ordeal plus it makes things hard for my mom. So for the time being he's grateful for all of the things he's able to do and the degree to which he's been able to recover functionality from the prior rounds of treatment.

It all seems to throw me back into one of those states of "WTF am I doing with my life?" though.
