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.
