29 June 2021

 


     My running shoes came in today.  I made the hard decision to return them.  Sadly, I am dying, and what little is left of my old shoes will last me until then.

     I ordered them following the CAR T-therapy, prior to learning of it's failure.  I was so full of hope of seeing a healthy holiday season this year.  Now I know this tumor in my head is about to leave me incapacitated at any moment now.

     I had a sentence modification hearing in Walworth County in regards to my terminal illness and the underlying threat from COVID-19, in front of the Honorable Daniel S. Johnson. 

     I fully expected my motion to be dismissed off hand without much thought.  I misjudged Judge Johnson.  He researched my case, broke it down, and gave a fair argument for his decision.  I have tremendous respect for this man.

     Ultimately, he denied my motion, but I felt I had a fair hearing.  Something I never expected. 

     Obviously, I am disappointed in the decision, but I feel as though I regained back some respect for the judicial system I had lost from my years of court hearings, where I was dismissed without actually being heard, and the toxic political environment we live in.

     Thank you, Judge Daniel S. Johnson.

     I ran five miles tonight.  Still not moving very well, but the extra weight does not help either.  Had some pretty good rain coming down for awhile, then was able to run under a rainbow for a short while.  Life is still good.
