What a great turnout for our 8th annual golf outing to raise money for Y-ME. The weather did not start out that good but it turned out to be a beautiful day. Thanks for all who participated and hung in there with us. Thanks goes out to our great volunteers - Carol Lucht (thanks for keeping me sane) , Wendy Shahriakian (you rock), Roxanne Klingenmeyer, Jamie (matthews girlfriend), Kathy Huro, Courtney Huro, Megan Huro, Kevin Michelini and Cindy Michelini. We couldn't have done this without your help. Thanks to all our sponsors and supporters especially Jewel/Supervalu and Designcraft. Your support every year keeps us going.

It was great to see all our old friends as well as make new ones this year. We were especially excited to have 14 alumni there from our (Glen, Mark and mine) grammar school (St Robert Bellermine). Thanks for showing up and giving us your support. Even those who could not make it from SRB sent us donations.

Not sure what we were able to raise until all the bills come in from St Andrews Golf Club. I'll make sure I let you know as soon as I get the numbers together.

Otherwise things are progressing as usual. My hands and feet are peeling like crazy despite all the lotion and salve we are applying. My nails are so soft I have to keep them very short otherwise they just rip off. Looks like I'm losing most of my toe nails too. Some days are good and others I'm so tired I could hardly make it through the day. I'm like the Energizer Bunny and keep on going. Or for all us oldies I'm like a Timex watch - I take a lickin and keep on tickin! Potassium issues being low but we are dealing with it and hopefully next blood test will show good results.

Next CAT scan to see how the chemo is working is Sept 6. Let's keep everything crossed that it will show tumors shrinking or at the least no change.

Until then my friends I wish you all good health and happiness. Remember - Just Dance!
