Things are going well. This past weekend was the Heartwalk in Indy. It was a beautiful day and about 4,500 people showed up to walk! This year we set up a little tent and table and sold "GOT HEART ?" wristbands. All profit goes to the AHA for "Team Alex." I think we sold over 100 wristbands and we still have plenty left if you are interested! It looks like Alex raised more than she did last year! Perhaps close to $14,500! Looks like she will be #1 or #2 again this year.

Alex got to cut the ribbon to begin the Walk. She was also interviewed by the Indpls Star newpaper and an article appeared on Sunday! Well, as soon as the walk started, Alex and Ellen to drive to Ohio for a marching band competition. The performed twice and didn't arrive home until after 1:00 a.m.!! Alex seems to enjoy marching band. I will get some pics soon.

The boys are fine. Both are doing well in school and keeping busy with sports, school, and church. Ellen and I are busy at work and volunteer stuff. But all in all life is pretty good. How about you??

Here is an interesting concept. I really wonder which family members read this blog...if any. So here is what I propose: It is 4pm on Wednesday September 21, 2005. Whatever "family member" emails me and tells me they read this part of the blog will receive in the mail $5 of McDonald's gift certificates. Sorry, non-family members are not eligible for this contest. So, you know my email...let me know and you can "have it your way"...no that's Burger King...you can "think outside the Bun"....no....you're Eatin Good in the Neighborhood...no...you can have two-all-beef-patties-special sauce-lettuce-cheese-pickles-onions-on a sesame-seed-bun!!!

Well, take care of yourself and have a GREAT day.
