BI-COASTAL FUN
As we bump into our West Coast friends, the East Coast just becomes that much cozier. Rose, Saul and I met Darryl, Andrea and Sofie at the foot of the Berkshire Mountains at the seriously cozy Brava in Lenox, Mass. In a momentarily relapse, I forgot to snap photos (just having too much fun), but know this, World, it was a beautiful convergence of the past meeting the future as our children wrestle with their new expansive lives and we adults watch with wonder as they start this chapter.
The fun continued as Will (née Maddie) and Nick found us in Northampton for Pho and a serious data dump.
The kids are alright.

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.
