A Celebratory Grope

Years ago my OB/GYN told me that the best time to do a breast self-exam was immediately after my period ended.  Briana calls it the celebratory grope.

I've always been good about doing a breast self-exam.  It's really no big deal.  Now that breast cancer has reared its nasty, stinking head on both sides of my family, I'm kinda passionate about that celebratory grope.

Also mammograms.  Which are no fun.  But then, neither is breast cancer or leaving your family without their wife or mother.

This weekend is the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure in various parts of the country, including Salt Lake City and Sacramento.  If you haven't yet, please consider making a donation.  Or better yet, go out and live your life--walk for those who have had this disease!
