Woo went the wind, and out went the light, and five little ghosts flew out of sight.

Day 70

Lindsay went to a class-mates 4 yr old birthday party today. They had a pirate ship piñata that was made from industrial strength steel plating. It took an adult whacking that thing, and then ripping it open to get any candy out. Then the mad dash to scoop up the mini-sized chocolate bars and sweet tarts from the stained floor of the pavilion at the Statesville Soccer Complex. This is a picture of Lindsay sitting next to her new BFF, Hailee.

Day 69...teehee

Day 68

I find this lizard everywhere in the house. It usually hides in a dark corner and I catch it in the corner of my eye and jump, thinking, "What the hell is that!! Oh yeah. That damn lizard."
It's also the answer to today's What is it? game on Facebook.

Day 64

Day 63

My family spent the weekend at a cabin in Bat Cave, NC. One of the evening activities (if you hadn't had too much to drink yet) was puzzle building. If you did have too much to drink, you made fun of the puzzle builders. Note that I am not at the table building a puzzle.

One year ago today, Lindsay's bone marrow biopsy came back negative. So, to celebrate this very emotional anniversary, we asked Lindsay what she wanted to do. "Have friends over! And have a cake! And have ice cream!" It was a really happy day.

Michael, Avery, and Lindsay
Uncle Kevin and Avery came to visit this weekend to see me get me head shaved for the St. Baldrick's Foundation!!

Day 42

Yesterday, I had my head shaved for a fundraising event for childhood cancer research. The St. Baldrick's Foundation gives hundreds of thousands of dollars away in the form of grants to researchers searching for cures. My daughter is a leukemia (AML) survivor and directly benefitted from the better medicine coming from that research. I think this may be an annual event for me.
