Today's local news...

There was a special 36-page "parks & recreation" insert section in our local paper today. I was featured on the back page and recognized for the money I've raised for the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. This year's "Bowl for Kids' Sake" event is coming up in March and will be my 25th year of bowling in the event. It should put me very close to $50,000 raised for them over that time period. It really is all about my family, friends and co-workers who sponsor me to help raise money for such a worthwhile organization. I tell them all I do is bowl, they are the ones who contribute money year after year.

Joe/Ron - Wow, I'm overwhelmed with your generosity. All I can say is THANKS! I sent you both a PM with more details.

Thanks, too, to the rest of you for all the nice notes and comments. It's great to have a bunch of guys like you that I consider my friends even though I haven't yet met any of you. Just awesome, so thanks guys!
