It's nice that I am able to be here at home for my mom's birthday. She was out all night last night at the Relay for Life. I left there at about 10:30. It was a nice event, but sometimes as I was walking I asked myself what good my physical act of walking was doing. I mean, does my taking steps help find a cure for cancer? I suppose, though, that the act of walking is not to somehow provide real "support" in the fight against cancer; rather, it is to show my emotional support for those fighting cancer, those who have died from cancer, and those who have loved cancer survivors and victims. Most of the night I considered that I was walking in support of my grandmother who is currently battling cancer, and she seems to be doing remarkably well.

Tonight we're going down to my grandma's house to eat some homemade pizza in honor of my mom's birthday. Homemade pizza is one of those things that everyone thinks their mom or grandma does the best, but just to set the record straight, my grandma's pizza truly is the best pizza you can find. Here's a picture of a cake my grandma and I made for my mom on her birthday in 1989.
