Connections
I wanted to share the story of an important connection that I made this past week. I received the below email from a woman whose father was just recently diagnosed with the same form of leukemia that I was diagnosed with. Needless to say, I was very touched by her email. So much so, that I made arrangements to meet the woman, as well as her mom, right after the 8K race that was run this weekend as part of the Philadelphia Marathon & Half Marathon. We met briefly after the race and established a great connection which I hope will continue to grow.
Y Thank You
Our local YMCA recently sponsored a coat drive for those children who could not afford a new winter coat. I though I would share a note the Y received from one of the appreciative recipients.
From Clutter to Clarity
I admit that I have been a little funky and scattered as of late. There are a few things going on in my life that I am trying to get a handle and the proper perspective on. I have been fighting a cold and respiratory thing now for a little bit which is more annoying than anything else at this point. It did force me to walk about 75% of the NYC marathon last weekend which was a little disappointing. But I quickly remembered that a finish is all that mattered and our team, Grassroot Soccer raised close to $150,000 for AIDS/HIV education through the GRS program. That’s a big win. Even though it ended up being a walk, it was a great and memorable weekend.
New York State of Mind
So here is the deal. In two days I am to race the NYC marathon. I have been registered for months. I am racing with Ethan’s Grassroot Soccer charity team again and really looking forward to it. Except for one problem; I feel like crud! I was out sick two days this week and this respiratory thing is lingering and just will not go away.
‘In Search of Center’ Now Available
This project is another collection of thoughts. My thoughts. Thoughts on triathlon. Thoughts on life. Thoughts on cancer and thoughts on people. All of these pieces have previously appeared somewhere over the last couple of years. Some were written for other publications, and some simply personal blog entries.

It’s Coming….. I Swear.
OK, here is the deal. My new book that I am putting together should have been ready and published by now. The only thing standing in the way now – is me.
On the Near Horizon
I wanted to let folks know that I have been brewing another book project over the last several months. This is simply another compilation of short stories, articles, and blog posts on various subjects relating to life, cancer, triathlon, people, and anything else that may have moved me. As well as a few pieces on some friends who were lost. I realize that’s quite a broad spectrum of subject matter, but those who know me will not be surprised by that.
