Kanik's SWEET New Ride

And...just because it's super cool, here's a picture of Kanik with his hot new bike.  Getting pulled over for running a red light on this thing (true story) isn't going to stop him.  

Big News For Kanik

What has Kanik been up to during this last part of the summer, you may ask?  The answer is A LOT.  Kanik was hired by Saks Fifth Avenue to create several glass installations for a few of their newly-renovated stores across the country.  He's been busily working on these for the past couple months.  The installations will be in Saks stores in Troy, MI, St. Louis, MO and Chevy Chase, MD.  There MAY also be more work for Saks somewhere down the road.  (We'll keep you posted on that.)

With the help of James and Libby, Kanik has been packing up the pieces for these installations.  It's an unbelievable opportunity for him and, despite the many hours of work this job requires, Kanik is getting it all done (ahead of schedule, too!)

In health-related news, Kanik had his regular endoscopy performed yesterday and while he did receive banding on his esophagus, this time he needed fewer bands than the first time he went through this procedure.  The doctor did not see any bleeding in his esophagus this time, which is good news.

As of now, Kanik is still planning to receive his next chemo treatment on Sept. 11.  

In the meantime, Kanik will be hard at work, finishing up this job for Saks and rocking as he does.

Check back soon for photos of the installations (and his new bike!); we'll post as soon as we have them.

Kanik's winning ways and how to find the Man himself

Kanik had his fifth round of chemo this past Tuesday, August 7th and all went as well as one would hope. It has been an amazingly productive few weeks for K, despite the lack of posts here. In between getting some phenomenal help from his family of friends and working through the last round, he has managed to work quite a bit, get to the jersey shore, first lose and then replenish his bike supply, and generally eat, drink and be merry. Truly, a very good stretch.

His doctors have set the next round for Tue, Sep 11, 2012. It seems they want to give him some extra time before the next round to give him a bit of a break.

So, in the meantime...

So many thanks to everyone who has been there for all of this and continue to demonstrate why we're all part of the collection of folks who are fortunate enough to know him.

With the idea of knowing him in mind, go A's and go get in touch with Kanik if you have some time this summer.
