We saw Billy Elliot last night with Sofala. And do you know what I think of it? MEH! Don’t bother. Lackluster music, script and energy. Against my better judgement, I stood for the standing ovation, then sat right back down forgetting that the seats close. So I...
Went to Cambridge yesterday. Super cray cray beautiful! Pimm’s on the waterfront, punting on the River Cam, and tea. Exhausting but amazing. Rose has my permission to go to university there.
The story of St. George – for Josh and Matt! (This was on one of the interior doors of King’s Chapel.)

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.
