We're at the Ronald McDonald House in Room 604. As we'll be here for the next 5 or 6 weeks, anyone wanting to send mail to Killian (or mom) can mail to:
Mansfield, Room 604
c/o Ronald McDonald House
405 E. 73rd Street
New York, NY 10021
So far, the trip downtown to Beth Israel and back is pretty straight forward on the subway. We tried the Ronald McDonald shuttle today, but the timing didn't work and we annoyed the line of folks getting radiation following Killian's turn because we were 15 minutes late. We also found a woman who rode that shuttle with us EXTREMELY annoying. As Killian put it, "she talked constantly about all her problems -- as if everyone else on that shuttle didn't have their fair share." We started to sing Christmas Caroles in hopes of distracting her, but weren't very successful (mainly because we couldn't remember lyrics for beans!) A charity (Friends of Karen) and Dusty our neighbor have offerd to pay for some cab rides to and from RM House. We'll take them up on it once the radiation starts making fatigue a serious issue.
Accomondations are fine here, but we'd rather be home with Phil and Cally. Winter break starts next week and they'll come stay with us at RM House then. Being all together as a family is so nice.
Killian had sold some Grumpy Fish T-shirts to Forbidden Planet (a famous comic store in NYC) about a year ago -- when he was last here for radiation. He checked in with Matt, the guy who bought them, to see how they sold. Matt said they sold out quickly and folks phoned for more. It was great to imagine folks we don't know wearing Grumpy Fish around NYC. Maybe we'll see someone one day.
Killian receives his third treatment tomorrow.

Great to hear about the t-shirts selling. You might want to also look into Cafe Press, the online on-demand printer of t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, and other products. You just set up an account, send them a jpeg, and they do the printing, mailing, and handling of money for you.
