Walking challenge: Week twoMon, July 21, 2008 @ 4:09PM July 14: 1,248 (although I forgot to wear it for a bit Monday morning and probably would have logged at least a couple hundred more steps.) July 15: I'm rounding this to 7,000 steps. I had logged 6,438 steps before I lost my pedometer, then went to my class reunion committee meeting, and to church. I walked the longest distance of the hallwayat church at least two round trips, plus some more walking, so I'm sure it was way more than 7,000 steps, but that's what I'm putting down. July 16: Since my pedometer was still lost until Thursday morning, I'm putting the same as last week: 2,883 steps. July 17: Pedometer found, 7,393 steps. July 18: 5,134 steps July 19: 8,173 steps July 20: 3,269 steps Second week: 35,100 steps

The Power of The PaperMon, July 14, 2008 @ 6:15PM A couple of weeks ago The Messenger, with the help of Hy-Vee and Decker Truck Line, put together a flood drive to assist the flood victims of Eastern Iowa. This two-day drive was literally put together five days prior. The community response was overwhelming. We filled a semi with supplies, plus received over $1,000 in cash donations and gift cards! This event really made me proud to be a part of this community.

Not SatisfiedThu, May 15, 2008 @ 5:13PM It's been awhile since the last time and I apologize for that. A lot of things have been going on since then and one of them was the US Nationals. I wanna share some of my thoughts from that tournament and give you an idea of what it was like. First I want to address a question that was brought up recently by someone that could just ask me in person but aparantly he wants me to share it with you as well, which is great. The topic of boycott. First of all from what I understand there has been no talk of boycotting the Olympics. The talk was that some are going to boycott the opening ceremonies. In this day and age there is no way in my opinion that the US would ever boycott an Olympic Games, the reason is money. With all of the big corporate sponsors donating and getting their name out there during the games for millions and millions of dollars there is no way we would not go in my mind. As far as the opening ceremonies, I would not want to miss that for anything.
