Festival of Fire

I cannot let this pass without attempting to describe the event we attended last night. Along with the Frates' and Henrys we had a nice dinner in Lafayette then vanned over to a large parking lot in the Port of Oakland for the Crucible Fire Arts Festival. This consisted of ingenious and imaginative metal sculptures that each used intense flames as part of the presentation. There were noises and heat all around and it was fascinating. We finally dragged ourselves away long after our bedtimes but thoroughly blown totally away.



I was able to do cardiac rehab in the morning. dialysis in the afternoon and the Festival at night without any problems.

RJ/Bob/Irv is a 61-year-old beloved husband, father, uncle, brother, motor racing fanatic, and Livermore resident who received a heart and kidney transplant in February of 2010. Bob's recent years have been defined by his health, which forced him into early retirement. Unfortunately, many of his days were spent in a dialysis center or at various medical appointments, primarily due to his living with diabetes for over 40 years. Numerous were panic visits to various Emergency Rooms all over California for treatment of chest pain. But now no more dialysis and no more late-night dashes to UCSF! The main focus of Bob's family, friends, and doctors has been a prompt transplant, so that he can get back to traveling with his Sweetie, driving fast cars, enjoying great music and laughing with his friends. This blog will function as a way to communicate with all interested parties and to keep everyone informed. And hopefully it can serve a great purpose also, in making people more aware of the importance of organ donation and how each life saved has a positive effect on dozens of related friends and relatives.
