California here they came...

The Derrick family... 2 adults (Jerry and Katrina) 2 children (Justice and Harmony); 3 cats (Hope, Charity and Christina) and 1 dog (Spirit). Are on the move. They left Honolulu, HI (where they have lived for 8 years) heading for Virginia. Their house in Virginia will hopefully close escrow the end of May. Until then they will be visiting us in California.

Oncology Appointment - the day after

Jerry hasn't been feeling very well, at all since his appointment on Wednesday.

Oncology Appointment - Auto Accident

Wednesday, 05.02.07 Jerry had his scheduled monthly appointment with his oncologist. Jerry prefers to drive my 2005 Camry rather than his full size GMC truck on the just under 60 miles trip (one-way) into Los Angeles (Century City), when he goes for his appointment. On his way to his appointment, Wednesday, Jerry was driving through a residential area near Dr. Bob's office when he reached for a pen he had dropped, on the floor. Taking his eyes off of the road for only a few seconds, not realizing he was approaching a stop sign he smashed into a 2002 Honda already stopped, at the stop sign, at the intersection. Fortunately, since Jerry was driving through a residential area his speed was not excessive and both Jerry and the other driver were not hurt. However, there is significant damage to the front end of my car, as well as, damage to the Honda.

Oncology Appointment - 05/02/07

On Wednesday 05/02/07 Jerry had his monthly appointment with his oncologist. Whenever Jerry drives into Los Angeles (Century City) for his appointment he prefers to drive my 2005 Camry rather than his GMC full size truck, for the long 60 mile drive one-way. Jerry's appointment is usually scheduled for 1:30 in the afternoon. On Wednesday, on his way to his appointment Jerry was driving through the residential area near Dr. Bob's office when he reached for his pen that dropped onto the floor. Taking his eyes off of the road for a couple of seconds he didn't realize he was approaching a stop sign. He smashed into the 2002 Honda stopped at the stop sign. Since Jerry was not traveling fast through the residential area Jerry and the other driver were not hurt. However, their is significant damage to the front of my Camry and damage to the Honda, as well.
