Labor day weekend

It didn't start out well, but it's getting better. Friday night I was on a conference call for an outage at work that involved 5+ members of our team. No fun. Didn't get to bed till late and it preoccupied my mind throughout the night, so I didn't sleep well. On Saturday, I got up with the kids and all was good. Kids were fun and Pops and I were able to let Jess and my Mom hit the stores. I know they appreciate that. Later that night they, in turn, allowed Pops and I to check out the local dirt track speedway here in Winchester for the first time. It was fun. I was disappointed at the "no alcohol" policy :) , but we had a good time. I have never been to a dirt or paved track that DIDN'T allow you to BYOB as long as it was in cans. Curveball. Anywards, it was fun. My older brother, Adam, came. The three of us had a blast. I will post a pic of him, when I get one. He too is bald, but is used to it. He has shaved it off from time to time due to some male pattern issues :) I ain't far behind by no means, but he is definitely leading the way. Anyways, we are both bald and my old man has his closely cut, so we looked like white supremacists. Not exactly what we are going for, but it goes unnoticed out here in the valley :)

Today we went to a huge outdoor flea market that we frequent enough to know most of the vendors. Outside of my youngest boy Jack going ape (see caption), all was well and the weather couldn't be nicer. So we shall chill the rest of the weekend. We plan on heading down to my in-laws' pool and relaxing a bit tomorrow (albeit with 5 kids). Thanks for all who comment on the blog. I love reading them and it lets me know that people are reading the posts. However crazy they be :)

I am still feeling good and got my fingers crossed for treatment #3 on Weds. I am thinking good thoughts on whiteblood cells. My friends Shane and Atika are being induced at this time, so I am waiting by the phone for the news. We are thinking about you guys. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Sounds like you had a jam-packed alcohol free weekend! I'm happy to hear things are going so well for you, and I love the mental image of you three baldies walking around! Good luck with #3 tomorrow and I hope all goes smooth!!
