040909 -    1.  Glad to hear someone is "moving the chains," cited in your
040910 -        letter on September 8th. ref SDS 10 GQ6Q

040913 -    2.  Many feel the foundations of modern life emerged from the
040914 -        cradle of civilization.  Ancient Greece of Socrates, Plato, and
040915 -        Aristotle waxed eloquent with epic literary lore.  Homer,
040916 -        Pandora's Box, Prometheus come to mind, along with Thucydides
040917 -        credited for advancing the practice of literacy, reported on
040918 -        991108, ref SDS 1 7048, and developed from research on Hutch's
040919 -        paper. ref SDS 1 4355  Other's embrace Far East culture for the
040920 -        wisdom of Confucius.  Today, however, people are experiencing
040921 -        an epiphany through powerful theories formalized in the West
040922 -        Coast Offense.  Naturally, I was pleased to hear of your part
040923 -        in advancing the engine of the Walsh philosophy to "move the
040924 -        chains."
040926 -         ..
040927 -    3.  Doubtless, George Bush would love to "move the chains" in Iraq,
040928 -        and now in North Korea, and in the upcoming elections.  So,
040929 -        too, IBM, Microsoft, Proctor & Gamble, the Yankees (what a
040930 -        bust), Enron, Time-Warner, Disney, and so on, yearn for the
040931 -        secret of "moving the chains."

040941 -            [On 080923 Ross submits report that Stu, now a senior,
040942 -            rushed for 293 yards in a winning effort for the high

040946 -    4.  Keeping with a football metaphor, Mil was thrown for a big loss
040947 -        recently.  The doctor took her off of treatment for pulmonary
040948 -        emboli on 051121, on the grounds that her diagnosis on 041104
040949 -        was attributed to the Avastin drug trial (I know this is a
040950 -        little detailed, but its kind of funny).  He reasoned that
040951 -        Kaiser's policy to treat cancer patients for life should be
040952 -        ignored, despite family history of related issues, despite
040953 -        warning by the Coagulation Treatment Department, and despite a
040954 -        2nd opinion recommending hypercoagulable state work up (fancy
040955 -        terminology for keeping Mil on treatment).  So this past July,
040956 -        Mil's oldest son, now about 52, was hospitalized with relapse
040957 -        of pulmonary emboli, and his doctor did a test that identified
040958 -        genetic disposition for this disorder.  After ignoring a
040959 -        mountain of evidence, Millie asked about getting a CT test to
040960 -        check it out.  Surprise, the doctor called and said how sorry
040961 -        he was that test results show Millie has pulmonary emboli
040962 -        again, too, and has to go back on treatment...

040966 -         ..
040967 -    5.  Research on PE shows that only 10% of people relapse, but 45%
040968 -        of those who relapse die.  Somehow that 45% number jumps out,
040969 -        saying that Millie has dodged a very big bullet.  More
040970 -        recently, she "moved the chains" for another "set of downs" by
040971 -        stabilizing her PE condition, and we think the cancer relapse
040972 -        is showing some recovery.
040974 -         ..
040975 -    6.  If Hutch sticks with ambitions to become a doctor, maybe he can
040976 -        "move the chains" in medical practice.  Hopefully, Stu can
040977 -        follow his dad's example and "move the chains" in engineering,
040978 -        marketing, management, whatever.  Of course, it is an uphill
040979 -        battle, as you noted in a letter on 920402.  The inertia of
040980 -        culture makes "moving the chains" on the field of life even
040981 -        more difficult than the combined defenses of the Pittsburgh
040982 -        Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Denver Broncos, as
040983 -        discussed in NWO...

040988 -    7.  Glad to hear in your recent letter that all is well.

040990 -        academy.  Assume Richard is okay.
