Day 19 (51.4%)


I am now HALF WAY through my radiation therapy!!!!!! Hooray!!!

For today I have chosen “Hey Nineteen,” written and recorded in 1978 by Steely Dan. This is a timely choice because band member Walter Becker died this past week at the age of only 67. His bandmate and longtime friend Donald Fagen promised to "keep the music we created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band." 

Barry’s brother Rich shared a personal note on Walter Becker: he was a 1967 graduate of Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, as were both Rich (Class of 1965) and Barry (Class of 1969).

Today’s t-shirt is from Bar Ilan University, where Simmie spent a wonderful post-high school year.



Our thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are still recovering from Hurricane Harvey as well as those now bracing for Hurricane Irma.

Love,


Rebecca
