You are there already? Crap, man, you're early!

Sit tight, I am nearby (at a friend's place by PGE park). I will be there shortly.

If you go to the corner of 1st and Salmon, you will where they are setting up for tonight's event. On the South side of Salmon (the #3 Building) there is a little walking path - they are setting up some sort of a stage at that corner. Go to that walking path and I will meet you there. I am only 15 minutes away!

great time, kids had fun. Is it me or is that drive home seeming to get longer as it gets colder outside  .

[Jabbasdead]

is there any problems of me grabbing a few pictures to load on the Leukemia page of my website and is there an official distance that we ended up walking? Natasha and I are have a one year plan in regards to walks and donation, we have a goal of 501k in a one year period.

The email that I got from the LLS said:

How long is the route? There are two options: 1.8 or 3 miles.  You can make the decision at 0.9 miles as to which route you would like to take.  1.8 does not have any stairs, and the 3 miles does have some stairs.

We took the 1.8 mile version for sure.

It was really good having more participation this year. I am very grateful to all of those who came out and supported the cause; Ralph + kids, Kyle and T'igor, Eric and Lucas, Kevin, Dave, and spotters Scott, Virginian and Shane.

I got a tree sapling this year and planted in a pot. I didn't know what they trees were for last year, or I would have got one then, too. But I put it in a pot (for now) and will plant it somewhere more suitable when I can find it.

I got more emotional this year, than last... maybe because this year it marked the 30th anniversary of losing my brother, I don't know. I walked away from everybody, went behind the escalators and balled my eyes out. He would have liked this very much.

Thanks to all of you who supported me in this cause! I can't wait to see the pics.

On a side note, we can still continue to raise funds for Light the Night until the end of the year. So, I think I will continue to donate, or solicit donations, as I can, until the end of the year. Call me crazy, but I like padding the donations numbers, especially for this particular cause!
