Just as an FYI:

I won't be on line for at least the next week. I just found out this morning that my cousin, whom I was very close to and is only a year younger than me, passed away last night from his 11-month battle with brain cancer. He was diagnosed with a tumor one month after getting married to a wonderful girl, and has spent the last several months deteriorating rapidly. Unforutnately, I had already scheduled going to the US Olympic Training Facility in Colorado Springs for my USAW cert. from Thursday to Saturday. So, I'll spend the next few days with my family, go out of town, and then be back for the services. I will talk to all of you then, and let you know how everything turned out.
Thanks in advanced for your prayer for my family.

When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time been allotted to me? The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.

My condolences to you Michael. How sad.

A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!

Geez Michael...had no idea. Best wishes to you, your family, and all those involved.

ON a lighter note, have fun in Colorado Springs. Get up Pikes Peak if you have time, the cog train is pretty cool and runs year around.
