top of the morning, friends!
i hope this blog entry finds you well and preparing for a wonderful thanksgiving with family and/or friends!
things are good here, as i can walk further and further without the use of a cane. in fact, the only time use it now is if i am walking a very long distance or if the terrain is uneven. i suspect that soon i won't even need it then.
the first picture above is of me and another biker i met on deal's gap, tennessee---just before we tackled the "dragon." the second picture is of a turtle i rescued on the outter banks, and the third picture was taken after my first night in london, kentucky---preparing for the day's ride. all three pictures were taken during my recent 3,200 motorcycle trip---what an experience!
dad is improving daily. he started chemo about 2 weeks ago. while it does make him a bit tired, he hasn't gotten any sicker or lost any hair as a result of the medicine. thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers. he must be getting better, as he sent me a page from a magazine that had a nice motorcycle bracelet advertised. attached to it was a post it note that said, "hint, hint, hint!." so....i ordered it for dad. i hope he really likes it.
i have attended two MADD events over the last couple of weeks and hope to do some type of volunteering with them soon. i do feel that i can offer a unique perspective as a law enforcement officer who has removed impaired drivers from the road and from that of victim.
i am also going to start as an adjunct professor with ohio university soon. i am very excited about the position and look so forward to it and other potential opportunities.

scott rike's family after the loss of their father
barb moore's mom after recent surgery
praise reports:
