This was an interesting week. I was interviewed by the CT Post for my work to raise money for Scouts Can (Habitat) and LiveSTRONG. It should be coming out soon in one of the editions this week. I'm excited... not for me being in the paper, but for the chance it gives me to further my fundraising and shirt memorial. My local By Scout District did a press release to many of the Fairfield and New Haven county media outlets so hopefully many others will pick this up as well.
I have been very much under the weather since Sunday and tests today were inconclusive but two possibilities are a stomach ulcer (not surprising with everything going on and all the stress) and possibly having become lactose intolerant. For those of you who know me, if the latter were to turn out to be true, that would be devastating! I love milk and my family and I go through a gallon every two days. I sure hope that is not the issue causing my GI distress. Today was much better, I actually ran about 4 miles so hopefully I am getting over it now.
Jan is leaving for an MCC (Monroe Congregational Church) church mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico on Saturday morning so it feels very funny. Usually it is I who leaves on a trip with Jan staying behind with the kids. The opposite will be true for the next week and I'll sure miss her but she is doing something very good and I could not be more proud of her going down to help out at the Simply Smiles orphanage and building a house for one of the local dump families. If you want to learn more about where she is going, go to http://www.simplysmiles.org its a wonderful organization started by a young man from CT named Brian Nuremberger who has done so much for so many people there who have so little. The power of people is just amazing!
LiveSTRONG Jan and my other MCC friends! And safe travels...
