Friends -

Just a quick note to let you all know that there is an about me in today's Saint Paul Pioneer Press. Attached is the link. Unfortunately you will not be able to see that there is a color picture of Barb & I on the front page of and a larger b&w inside the "Express" section (what most papers call the Variety section). Of course I am wearing my CCC jersey, and Barb is wearing her Ride for the Roses jersey.

The article talks about me skiing the Birkie this coming Saturday. Unfortunately it may not happen. I have been lying low since my white count came back low last Friday. I have been having a sore throat and don't want it to turn into something. If at all possible I will be up there to do some or all of the race.

To make it even tougher, the top local ski shop donated a beautiful Swix racing suit for me to wear, and it is being signed by the other chemo patients at Minnesota Oncology.
