Grrawr! We just had some supes-nummy dim sum at the Luk Yu Tea House. It wasn’t too unlike Seattle dim sum, but everything just had more distinct flavors. I think it’s a meat thing. But check this out … it was WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than Seattle dim...
Hong Kong specializes in the three-foot/three-foot skyscraper. These teeny-tiny sprouting towers ascend into the clouds like the Earth is designed to sprout these slender concrete pillars. It’s crazy. This is a view from our hotel room.
Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
