Anymore, when I update the blog here, I always start by saying something like, "Well, it's been awhile since I last posted...."

And that's true again!

Last weekend (May 17-18) was the 15th annual Relay For Life of Moon Area (near the Pittsburgh airport). All the stressing over the past several months had finally met its match.

We had 22 teams. Had $30,000 going into the event. Had over 30 survivors.

And, oh yeah, we had rain. And lots and lots and lots of it. We could have built Noah's Ark, sold it to him and made soooooooooooooooo much money for Relay. lol.

(Note: It's rained for 14 of the 15 Relays.)

Last year, a lot of folks wanted to view my Luminaria Ceremony script.

So I'm going to attach the 2008 script here so that you folks can see it!

If you have any questions, let me know!

There's a very special team at my local Relay. In about 13 years, they've raised over $100,000. Their team has consisted mainly of three folks and occasionally other friends and family members.

It's truly remarkable.

The local newspaper did a story following our Relay. 

A youth team at my local Relay wanted to do the purple flamingo fundraiser. You know, the one where flamingos land in neighborhood yards and in order for them to be removed the homeowner has to make a donation.

Well, it worked for this team.

The local newspaper did a story on it.
