Broken Stuff

Image
It seems like the last couple weeks is about broken stuff. Angie was rear ended on her way to work. The car is broken. The refrigerator also decided to croak. Trying to catch up, gain back lost ground. We have a new car, very similar to the rudely smashed up car. I had it shipped from Texas. Also have a new a new fridge and backup freezer and fridge. Spring is very sprung. The pollen seems worse that usual this year. In Atlanta we complain about the traffic and the pollen, neither one is really as bad as we say.

The Relay for Life went pretty much as planned. However, I got a sore throat and a nasty cough over the last few days. I wasn't going to sleep out in fear it might get me more sick. My friend DJ did the keynote speech for the event. She did a great job. There wasn't many dry eyes. I have been incredibly busy the last couple of weeks. I have been combining a lot of things and planning my evenings for the whole week pretty much minute by minute. I was a bit annoyed that my trip between the home center (after my flying lesson) to the chainsaw place (closes at 8PM) that I got into a traffic jam. When I drove buy I took this pic of the reason I was in a traffic jam. I decided that I can be annoyed a little bit compared to these folks.
I am participating in the Chenango County Relay for Life event this coming Friday night. It is a fund rasier for Cancer research facilitated by the American Cancer Society (ACS). I will be up most of the night Friday Night up in Norwich taking turns walking around a track growing awareness and raising money with my Team.
