Blah Blah Blog...

Blogging has been a great way to express myself and keep my writing chops in shape.

However, there has been so much on my plate lately, that it's been difficult to keep up. As it is, I am writing this on my Palm while passing time at 41B district court in Mt. Clemens.

My days are spent at a job that I despise, and clouds my vibrance while sucking the life out of me.

Ever since my cancer experience, I never expected to be in such a position. However, I do it because I have to - I cannot quit because of my commitment to Sheryl and my house - wait, did I just use "commitment" and "Sheryl" in the same sentence??

Anyhow, this sucky job is also building character... apparently, I need more character...

Believe it or not, the purpose of this blog is not to bitch about my job... rather, it is also to speak about the successes we are having with Gilda's Riders. As I began saying - before I spun WAY off tangent - my days are spent at work, and once I get home, I eat, then make my way through bunches of e-mails - most of which I am immediately unable to respond to.

Most of these e-mails revolve around Gilda's Club / Gilda's Riders.

Because we got a late start on the event, we're rushing around like crazy. However, we've been successful in securing sponsors, and getting our jerseys in line. Finally, we are seeing fruits of our labor!

Next steps include group rides and attracting more riders and donations. If you are interested at all in making a tax-deductible donation to Gilda's Riders, you can send checks to Gilda's Club Metro Detroit, or you can donate online - just make sure you mention "Gilda's Riders" in the memo fields!

Come September 19, I will be in a position to write about something else.... or will I? Hmmm...

I can't wait to find out!
