So there's still a long way to go, but MCA is at least at home, with family, friends, and "home cooked food." And this past weekend's spate of Beastie Boys tributes at APW did not go unnoticed.

And to all the people who shouted along with Jay, Karen, and Chris: "just wanted to thank them and everyone else who sent positive thoughts my way. i do think that all of the well wishes have contributed to the fact that my treatment and recovery are going well. much love back at all of you!"
