“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”
I could cry.

I wondered about this the entire match. They are two of the more spicy players in the NWSL and I'm a fan of both.

I still think Ann-Katrin Berger, a two-time cancer survivor, is the best goalkeeper in the world. She was fantastic in the Euros making saves like this every match for Germany. Helluva free kick from Marta. And I love Lianne Sanderson color commentary.

Beautiful free kick by Jaedyn Shaw in the 97th minute gives Gotham the 1-0 win.

This was a pretty good game until late. Two teams still trying to fit in a lot of new pieces. Meanwhile, Michigan blew out Notre Dame by 39. Didn't see that coming.

I hadn't hiked Howell Wetlands for 2 weeks; I was stunned at how much it changed. Most of the leaves are down. The 8 wood ducks are gone but there are 4 times as many Canada geese on the back ponds. Saw a lot of turtles considering it's Nov. Heard a beaver splash. Lots of people walking the trails.

I bought some things at Old Navy today. Paid cash, I'm waiting for change & the young man cashier holds up a coin & says to me "Is this a nickel?" I was stunned but managed to say "Yes." We had talked so I knew he's 22. Do these kids swipe plastic so much they don't know the various coins on sight?

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"
