Darts, Sandy, Purchase

Sandy had her neck lumps removed on Monday. She came home yesterday, and she's doing great! She had a drain yesterday, which I think was annoying her a little bit, but it got taken out today. They'll send the lumps out for a biopsy to see if they're cancer; hopefully they aren't. The dart board arrived today. It's really nice, but almost all the hanging hardware was wrong. For example, a lot of the screws were way too short. Maybe they just put in the wrong hardware package. Anyway, this necessitated a late night trip to Lowes for new screws. For dart inspiration, you can check out the Superstars of Darts website. On Friday, we're going to check out Purchase College, which Peter is thinking about. It's just about 20 miles north of New York City, which should take us about 2-3 hours to get to, depending on how lost we get. Dad's already lining up podcasts, and we also have the Late Middle Ages lectures.

I'm glad that Sandy is OK. Faithful had a strange sore several weeks ago and we decided to go with the conservative treatment of antibiotics. It seems to be better. The conservative treatment cost $80.00. The surgery and biopsy would have been a lot more. Faithful was either shot with a bb gun or attacked by a racoon or has cancer (these are my ideas). It was a weird sore.

Also, what about that incident at the high school?

I hope Faithful doesn't have cancer!
Yes, the incident at the high school was really scary. One of Peter's friends lives pretty close to where the kid lives. The kid's grandmother also used to run a lunch counter very close to here. I'm so glad that the boy he was trying to recruit as a helper spoke up.
The Acorn Cat Sanctuary sounds very exciting!
