Sid, Di, and the oncologist discuss his rare cancer anaplastic ependymoma, as well as the technicalities of road biking including a ride in Vermont called L.A.M.B. which features more than 10,000 feet of climbing over 112 miles. The Buddha provides color commentary while musing on the cycles of life and death.
Thanks Phoebe. And thanks for your continued support of Sid and the Buddha...in some way, both are acquired tastes. Mark's book should be interesting. I actually used material from the blog he posted on line and shared with friends during the course of his illness and that his daughters uploaded at some point and then published I.e., I can't claim to have read the book cover to cover.
I think you're from the area, so perhaps you knew Mark. While I gave my cousin Robbie the primary acknowledgement in terms of inspiring Sid, Mark had some similarities himself. Really good guy. Thanks again.
I loved this chapter! Your Jay Georas character, and his decor (!) and his knowledge of bikes and biking and brains struck me as wonderfully alive and believable , and Sid continues to delight me with his Buddha thoughts and his irreverent spouting out, even as he exasperates Di! Can’t wait for the next chapter, but (sigh) I know I must!
I just ordered Void if detached. Sounds like a worthwhile read!
