Easter Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Mindy and I were able to go up to our apt. on Friday and we came back today. Even though we don't have any cable at our apt. we love it up there and always keep ourselves occupied, we watched "The Kingdom" and "Into the Wild" after which I contemplated trying to live off nature and become one with the wild like Supertramp, but soon came back to reality

I just want to remind everyone of the upcoming bone marrow drives, THIS FRIDAY March 28 at Hershey Medical center from 11 - 3, there is no cost and they only need to swab your cheek. Should you be a match for me or someone else the cost for saving a life is a donation of your blood, THAT'S ALL....There is no procedure like in the past and many people still think there is and that is simply not the case. The other drive is on April 1 from 4-8 at Elizabethtown College, please contact Alison Kreider to schedule a time at (717) 367-5751 she will accommodate anyone who can attend by offering to test you 24 hours before or after the scheduled drive. Also anyone can register online by going to www.marrow.org and have a kit sent to your house. PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!

In other news, last evening I asked Mindy to Marry me...........



SHE SAID YESS!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! How amazing!

"In other news" in the South, there are NO donor centers in Georgia - how dumb is that? The closest ones are in Charlotte and Columbia, SC. However, I found a drive in Dalton, GA on Apr. 6 - if I can figure out where Dalton is, do you know if I am able to send my results up to PA?

Keep truckin and Congrats to you and Mindy!
