Yes, it will be great to get together at the games. I am starting to get on a better schedule for bike riding. I am currently on hold because I broke 3 fingers ...caught in garage door. So...its hard to hold handlebars of bike.
Glad you are safe from the flu.
We have over 1000 cases in my state, Wisconsin.
Talk to you later

Hey Paul, I have been on the waiting list to get on the waiting list for about a year now...I have wondered how you are doing with the Swine Flu scare and everything.
Do you have any special precautions in Mexico for transplant recipients?
Our transplant clinic isnt saying much...but it is a bit scarey for those of us who are immunosuppresed. Stay healthy.
Claire
I appreciate your offer to help me translate alot.
I sent an email to you but it was returned.

Sharday was a very gifted poet and artist. She was the manager our her high school's football team for 4 year's at the time of her passing. She was very petite but I tell you she had those young men jumping! One thing about Sharday that was truly remarkable for her age was her 'realness' what you saw is what you got. She pulled no punches and that is what everyone loved about her, it made her Sharday. She was a champion for the underdog befriending those it was unpopular to do so.
I have been asked what Sharday's lesson to me was. Without hesitation I answered uncondtional love.
Wishing you beauty in every single day.
Sherry
