Thank God for cute little girls to overshadow my ugly mug and stupid comments.

Nice to put a name to a face, Bill. Great article, it shows that people who receive transplants are just normal people like the rest of the population

Rachael, nice to see your still in touch.

Well back from the games. Despite my stellar performance in my two bike races exceeding the goals for speed I set for myself..no medals for me. Was also part of the volleyball team but since we only practiced once you can guess how that turned out. All in all had another wonderful time. If your in the US I strongly suggest you go to at least one games. You don't have to compete but it is very inspiring to go.

On another note. the girl, Olivia, in the news story with me won 4 MEDALS! I think her best came in the long jump when right before launching off the board into the sand pit she abruptly stopped and said she first had to "take her shoes off!"

Follow the link and take a look at the video (no I'm not in this one but a lot of my team members as well as Olivia bowling.
