An update

I have been slacking this week, trying to get everything done while landscaping, so this post will be a little bit longer.

First off, I want to thank the HB team of Jen, Laura, Mike and Andrea for the gifts last week - Icy hot, heat pads, and a pillow for my neck (or another part after riding all day). Since they do not have enough to do with the people from NY, I try to keep them entertained, especially since Monica left.

I would like to thank Uncle Gary and Aunt Myra for the very generous donation. I saw them 2 weeks ago as they drove in for Eric's graduation.

I would like to thank Carim Calkins, my former middle school science teacher. Ran into him (not literally) at Costco and after hearing about Bike and Build, and he made a donation on the spot.

Also want to thank Steve Wood, a neighbor who also made a donation on the spot.

I truly have to say that I am amazed by the generosity of others and it has motivated me to be even more kind and generous to others.

As today is my last day before flying down to NC, I still have a lot to do - buy a sleeping bag and pillow, rent a car to go the Nascar race in Charlotte, and of course pack up my bike and stuff to take on the plane.
