I finished my radiation regime today! Still two more weeks of pain and side effects to come though. It lingers.

My wife added to our Mushroom Kingdom landscaping. Here come the Bob-ombs! And they light up at night!

Never heard of Gigglesnort Hotel? Here’s an episode. youtu.be/si4kjJDkQNU?...

Princess Peach's Regrettable Cake Comes To Life www.pressthebuttons.com/2024/03/prin... You know that terrible cake that Princess Peach tells Mario not to come to the castle for? My wife made it for real.

More fun from my wedding day. I’ve had these Mario and Luigi pins since I was 7 years old. I gave Luigi to my best man, Blake, to wear for the day. Also note the secret pattern in my tie.

We’ve named our kitten! After trying a half dozen names, it seems GusGus sticks. It’s a Cinderella reference for my wife but a Gigglesnort Hotel reference to me.

Four years ago today my wife and I were married. It was an amazing day that I revisit often in my mind.

I’m so sorry I’m not up for the usual Halloween fun at PTB this year. Go play a Castlevania; that’ll capture the spirit.

I had a dream about a new way for advertisers to force ads on our devices and feel like I need to burn the dream to keep it from coming true.

Today our new little kitten is three months old! He’s celebrating by getting his shots. Sorry, buddy! We’ll do better next month.

Cancer update: tumor is still dying and prognosis is looking good. Just one more week of radiation to go. I’m still working on mobility issues since I spend most of my time in bed.

Our little boy continues to explore. He loves boxes.

Happy sixth birthday to Tiny Tina! Our family wouldn’t be the same without her.

Looks like minimal damage at the house. Front door leaked which is not uncommon.

As if dealing with cancer and my fall isn’t enough, Hurricane Milton is here! This is all too much.

I’m home from the hospital (again). Even better news is my friend and podcast pal Blake is on his way to visit!

I had to go for my third kidney surgery in two months today. So far it’s successful!

In Yoshi's Island, if the "Kamek saying 'OH, MY!!!'" object is inserted anywhere in a level that is not a boss battle, Baby Mario will explode. This will count as completing the level.

Oh my GOD

Nope! Not leaving today after all thanks to a new complication.

I think we are close to naming the new kitten soon.

I should go home from the hospital (again) tomorrow.

The kitten went to the workshop again today!

Back in the hospital again, this time for massive blood loss through the dying tumor.

Little kitten practicing his scratching.

Terrible as I feel lately, our new little kitten brings such joy.
