i just want to take a second to direct you all to this story that ran in the Connecticut Post yesterday. this is my friend dan, who spent the greater part of the past year battling hodgkins lymphoma. through everything, he kept the biting sarcasm and sense of humor that make dan dan and make us all love him. i'm in awe of what he's gone through and how he's handled it all.

on october 15th, there's going to be an american cancer society relay for life event in windham, at the ECSU campus baseball facility. anyone who's interested in participating, please let me know--i'm looking to organize a team. you all have plenty of time to get the weekend free, so no excuses! i want the biggest, ass-kickingest, fundraisingest team they've ever seen! hoo-ah! who's with me?
