For my sweet wife.  Noreen is extremely tired this week and had to cancel her trip to Washington, D.C.  She is depressed and sad.

We are trying to figure out why this sudden loss of positive attitude.

I think it's the fact that she is so tired, she canceled the trip, and it is a personal defeat.

Noreen's determination to live a quality life with her cancer is central in keeping ahead of the game, since she contracted breast cancer almost 14 years ago.

Cancelling her D.C. trip, a total of 11 hours in the air, plus the wear and tear of two full days of meetings, is a personal defeat for Noreen.

My job?  Go home and stay close to this whirlwind woman.  Get her laughing.  I love you, Nor.
