High-Level Journal Summary: A game of poker being played at the kitchen table, right along with all the other card games being played. There is no doubt that I enjoy playing this game, although I wince at the amount of monies that are required before we can possibly get to our monies.

I can handle this game because we are not responsible for the carrying of the cards. That hand belongs to the cardmasters. This last item I can handle, but it also makes me say, "yuck."

Countdowns:
1.) Day 12 of 28 in Cycle 2 of the Avastin + Enzastaurin Clinical Trial at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

2008 Seizure Activity:
1.) Last Simple Partial Seizure, or SPS, was 39 days ago.
2.) In 2008, I have had 80 SPS's in 295 days. This is an average of 1 SPS every 3.7 days.

Actual Journal: Finally, some good stuff hanging up on the Support 38 Lemon Stand. Well, these are things which are almost hanging up on the Support 38 Lemon Stand. What are these items? These are the items we have been talking about for the past several months, and we are now at the point where we can get them up on the screen for ordering.

Other reactions
There are also many other items, from shirts to types of shirts to pants to shorts to cups to cute things I would never own. Perhaps that is why I never got into this mess. But, that was when all this was owned and done by other people...folks who managed all the addresses as they came in and went out. All that information was clearly their responsibility, not ours. Knowing that they own this information makes life much easier, I must say.

So, I am now in a position where more revenue can be more easily raised external to 38 Lemon, all from a softer position. That always sounds like a good thing. We can just see where this lands and whether or not this is a helpful project or not.

The only thing I see that is bad is the amount of income that goes to the company. The other company wants such a deep cut that it makes a deep gouge come first, before our company makes anything at all. It can always work when terms are agreed upon by all, but ouch it sounds a bit painful.
