Jimmy is doing remarkably well; he is a different person from the Jimmy of just a few weeks ago. Yesterday his good friend and former CEO and chairman of the board of the Park Avenue Bank, Brad Burnette, took him to the monthly bank advisory board meeting. It was the first time Jimmy has been able to attend since last winter, and he really enjoyed seeing everybody.

Today he got all dressed up in a suit and tie (another first in a long time) and I took him to the holding company board meeting at the bank. He initially was a little self-conscious about being a Kojak look-alike, and he said that he did get a few double takes as people realized who he was. It IS a bit of a shock at first, but when you get used to it, he looks pretty darned good. Bald men have a certain very attractive aura about them; maybe Jimmy should adopt this look permanently.

I picked him up at the bank after his meeting, and took him for his treatment at the cancer center where we spent the rest of the afternoon. (I'm starting to feel like I'm back in my soccer mom days, chauffeuring my sons all over town.) After we got home, he crashed. It's only seven o'clock, and I'll get him up to eat a little supper, but he's pretty much down for the count.
