Had another great day,

on the golf course, having a good time with the 'goons', and made a few bucks. Also, met with Rich, the tournament director at Thorncreek, and got some info on sponsoring a golf tournament. Bottom line, am trying to figure out a way to do a charity tournament for Bryan, and send him to MDA camp. Bryan, in case you don't know, has muscular dystrophy. It's not gonna be easy, mainly because they want a lot of $ ($85/person, PLUS food and drink), when the regular greens fees are only about $45. Doesn't leave much room for "profit', unless I charge huge entry fees, and that's gonna cut WAY down on participation. Am gonna work on it, but am a bit disappointed at the moment, Will try to speak w/other courses. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated.

Ellebee,
Brian is my son. Stevo and I became connected through a mutual friend I graduated from high school with. (Sorry about ending with a preposition.)Steve and I have e-mailed one another about my son, who is 26 now and has Duchenne MD. There are around 46 types of MD, Brian's happen to be the second worse type of childhood MD. Steve wanted to do something for Brian. I suggested he do something for the MDA in his area, such as have a golf tournment to raise money to send kids to MDA camp for a week. It cost over 600.00 dollars for one kid to attend camp for a week. There are several things folks can do to raise money for our kids other than the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. MDA uses more money than any other organization for the purpose of research, paying for doctor visits, camp, buying wheelchairs and keeping them in tiptop shape, orthotics, braces, camp, parties for kids with MD. This is one one the most well run and honest organizations I've ever been associated with and I've been associated with our local Toledo MDA chapter for the past 19 years.
So, does that answer your question? By the way, my name is Judy Helsel. Brian is my stepson and I've been his mom since he was 3 years old. Anything else you wish to know just e-mail me @ jhelsel@bex.net

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
