River got caught in the ring today. Took me and Don to get him out.
LIBBY: OK Jack, I need three ounces of this cheese and this is .35 pounds, so multiply 16 by 35 percent. What percentage makes three ounces? JACK: Just put half of it in. You can’t over-cheese something: LAURA: Unless it’s a Broadway...
Podnah’s for reals Mia, Tim and Finnian this weekend during brunch at Podnah’s, one of Jack’s fave BBQ spots on the West Coast. For brunch, great catfish, chicken fried steak, brisket (is there no end?) and chorizo tacos. And for anybody keeping...
Mia’s Torch & Twang at Tony Starlight’s this weekend in Portland D-D (watching the band): They’re so connected and tight and playing off each other. It’s like watching four guys have sex. JACK: No. No. It’s not like that! Why do you...
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.
