First, I'm going to be off to an unofficial class reunion that will include all four years I attended Interlochen Arts Academy, plus a couple years on either side. A number of the folks I knew as a student will be there and I haven't seen them in... well... ages! So, it should be an interesting experience. I couldn't attend the first one that was held last year, but they even jammed together and took over a local eating establishment as entertainment one of the nights. Very cool. So, that means Stampeaz will be closed for a few days, since there is no way I will ask the kind soul who is house sitting and taking care of my critters for me to try and figure out my order system! LOL!
Second, I am going to be participating in the inaugural Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in my area on September 19th. A friend and colleague at my day job is currently undergoing chemotherapy and recovering from a mastectomy and I wanted to put together a team to race for her life. I will also be celebrating my own 9th year cancer-free on October 4th, so I'm racing in gratitude for the gift of life I have been given and to find a cure so that others can have that same gift. If you would like to donate to my efforts, click here to get to my donation page. Thank you for considering a donation to fight breast cancer! This is the first time I have been on the fund-raising end of one of these events. I usually give to the other racers! I'm looking forward to it. When I get back from Interlochen, I plan to pounce on the PZ Kut problem with renewed energy and give you an update about where that stands shortly thereafter. I keep thinking that things will settle down. I guess I need to simply accept that my life is mildly nuts.....
