I look forward to it. I hate it when I don’t understand stuff.

My Great Grandmother enjoyed _the hell_ out of Disneyland when we took her there for her _98th birthday._

So, RBG, my best wishes, and hell, even prayers are with you.

From the story StGermain cited:

> "My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease. I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment. I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine. Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work.

Fingers crossed –
