First of all, I recently gave Google permission to start running advertisements on the left side of my blog. In exchange, Google will pay me about 10 cents for every time that one of my blog readers clicks one of these ads. You don't have to buy anything, just click the link! Any additional money that I make off of this will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as part of my fundraising effort. Therefore, please check back every day and click the ads even if I haven't written any new posts!

In addition, I wanted to let everyone know that as of a couple of weeks ago I added a second Personal Honored Teammate. My neighbor Joyce's grown son has suffered from four bouts of a rare cancer in his blood vessels, and the doctors are currently monitering this fourth and most recent return. My thoughts are with both Trey and his family.

In related Honored Teammate news, Jean has been feeling a lot better recently. She discovered that she can drink creamsicle shakes from Walter's, a hotdog stand that has been a staple for decades in Larchmont. Mom reports that she has also been up and around, doing small chores around the house. I'm so happy for her, and hopefully her strength will continue to improve as we get closer to the holiday season. It's not officially Christmas Eve unless Jeannie is sitting at my mom's kitchen table making the ladies of the family (and my poor, outnumbered Dave) laugh hysterically!

Well, it's back to work for a little while, and then it's time for my Tuesday run. I think I'll run on the mall again today!
