Attention Chapman/Loop family. We have found your clan! They were in a bistro drinking wine and telling tales of the unknown. We joined them and figured out the cure to all evils. Number one cure: Wine, it turns out. (Though Nora and Rose have their...
If only I were clever enough to say something funny about this! But I’m not and all I can muster up is this little piece of city furniture gets me choked up every time I see it. And today was no exception.
La Basilique du Sacre Coeur (and environs). Makes you almost want to go to church.
I’ve told y’all Rose is curiously drawn to the notion of tea, have I not? And if you know her, you know it’s no lie. So her god-damn raison d’etre on this trip is to seek out amazing patisseries. Today, we hit one on her list. Arnaud Larher in...
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.
