My Father has Stage 2 Melanoma. His arm, the one he hung out the window while delivering mail for his entire adult life. July 11th they check to see if it's metasticized. Sat is the 4 year anniversary of Stepdad's death from cancer complications. So freaked.

Hard to believe it's been 24 years

since that cold day in January when my Mom called and said, "Turn on the TV"... To a Y-split exhaust plume I will never ever forget. Fire in the Sky. Jan 28, 1986 space shuttle Challenger

Vince Lombardi quotes

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.     Vince Lombardi If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?     Vince Lombardi If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.     Vince Lombardi We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.     Vince Lombardi
