So much to tell today, and so very tough to decide what gets top billing.  If this were The New York Post, we'd have to go with:

SACHA BARON COHEN ON DA LINE

That's right!  The man who keeps Harry up at night, who has shared this journey and been part of Harry's world for the last two years, called him.  And they chatted for 13 minutes!  (Special thanks to Norm Eisen for dreaming this up and deep appreciation to Jeff Shell [with an assist to Natalie Horsburgh] for setting this up.)  They discussed all his characters, Hebrew being the secret language, and how his own children cannot see his movies (but our 11 year old Eden does!)   SBC invited Harry to the set of his new movie shooting now in London.  And guess what - Harry actually has a six-day break in early July.  So he may be London-bound.  Worth 3 1/2 years of chemo?  

  

Which one is Harry?

The second breaking news story, which The Wall Street Journal might have led with:

HARRY HEADS HOME SUNDAY

As I wrote yesterday, all his numbers look great!  So the doctors are allowing Harry to go "out patient" and come in three times a week for treatment.  While he is home, he will try to live as normal a life as possible, and go out as long as his platelet levels stay high.  He would still love company, and may be able to go out to a movie or go on a bike ride.   Please contact Harry or me, but do keep visiting him as the visits with his friends have truly helped the most.  I will notify everyone on the sign up as well.  And as for meals, we should be ok on our own, but may ask for a little help as he will still be in treatment three days a week till July 2.

But if this were the Sidwell Oat, it might lead with:

TEACHERS LEAVE CAMPUS

Normally, Harry might be nervous to see three of his teachers, but it was great visiting with Jon Mormino (math), Laura Jordan (history) and Gail Krotky (the freshman dean).  Ms.  Krotky asked Harry which he preferred this year: math or history.  He responded that it was a tough call, which would have been easier his research paper grade had been higher.  But Ms. Jordan did knit him a great cap, so all may be forgiven.

Amazing how different teachers look out of school

As Harry is heading home, they allowed him to walk around inside the hospital.  He visited the chapel.  

And the kosher pantry.  

Last, Raina stopped by today as she leaves tomorrow evening for six weeks.  She skipped her "Safety in Tajikistan" seminar to come by.  (Hope she stays safe without the seminar.)

We are looking forward to Shabbat dinner with the Kupfers.  Home made challah and fish straight from the grill.   Shabbat Shalom.
