The Dude

We got a surprise visit this morning from Nick and Mark. Not really a surprise, they did call before they got here. Three minutes before. But still. I'll take that kind of surprise any day. Nick was waiting for a bed at PCH and had some time to waste, and if you know anything about our house, it's great for wasting time in. Custom outfitted for procrastination in fact. Nick was in no mood to play ball, or play the Wii, or much of anything else...but he was in the mood to watch 300. A fightin' movie for a fightin' kinda dude. So, we skipped over the more "adult" parts and just watched some good ol' butt kicking.

Later on, I went up to the PCH and got schooled on the PS3 for a few hours. Nick was in a great mood, but maybe that was on account of the bag o' sugar I brought him. Again, I'll take it.

When I got home I stopped by the neighbor's house to let them know we wouldn't be here for a few days. Wouldn't you know it, our neighbor's wife has breast cancer. Great. Just another reminder that cancer affects everyone, everywhere. Fortunately for her they caught it in stage 1. Awesome. From looking at her, you'd never know she's been fighting it. She asked all about Nick and of course I spent way too long bragging on him. It was really awesome to talk to someone that is beating cancer and maintaining a positive attitude. Nick's not the only one, there are many, many others out there kicking the $*&! out of cancer and that is what's it's all about.

Anyhoo...thanks for checking in. Keep hitting the donate button and spreading the word. You guys are awesome.
