It's tough writing a blog when "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is on TV at the same time...

Two words: Phoebe Cates.

Anyhow, I think I'm addicted to lectures. Although tonight's lecture at the fabulous Ferndale library was not well attended, I had the same rush as I did after the Gilda's lecture. And that's pretty sweet!

More important than the lecture was getting together with Dave Hurst afterwards. When I was going through my cancer treatments, Dave asked me to be on the board of directors for Trips for Kids Detroit. Dave is a great guy, who I met while I trained to ride across Montana. I wanted to support Dave's dream of helping inner city kids, so I agreed. Unfortunately, after a couple of years, I realized that my heart wasn't in it... so I stepped down.

Dave was also the first person who asked me about talking to kids - to be an inspiration to them, but I didn't understand. Now, it all seems to make sense.

It's a crazy, crazy life, and although I've recently learned that I have limitations, I think the crazy life is the life for me!
