    Hi Mike,
    I know....I know....I'm working on it...I'm hoping I'll find the time to get it up tomorrow....If I could have just three or four more hours in a day, I'd be all set!!!

    Hi Mike,
    I posted the link on my blog post that you commented on---and your name goes on my race shirt regardless. If I was going to do this again next year (which my ortho surgeon is NOT recommending) I'd put it on there too.
    I haven't been much inspired to write lately...this is busy season for me at work...but I promise to get back to it in another week or so.
    Some day I hope you and I actually get to meet--thanks!!!

    I don't know what to say, except for a heartfelt thank you ....and your name will be front and center on my jersey, along w/ my honored patient, Brianna's.
