Karen and I set out to raise money for the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) “Walk To D'Feet ALS”. You may know the disease as Lou Gehrig's disease.

We have dear friend with the disease. He was diagnosed with the disease this year, but they believe he has had it for two years.

We managed to raise $1,800 for the flight for a cure. You can donate to the flight here. Please do all you can.

I am walking in this years “Walk To D'Feet ALS” to help raise fund to find a cure for ALS. The walk will take place September 30th, 2006.

I have a dear friend that was diagnosed this year with ALS. ALS was no cure and little to no treatment.

I would love for you to sponse me in this years walk. You can do so here. Just click on the sponsor me graphic.

Karen and I are starting to talk more and more about Disney World. You just know the trip must be around the corner.

We are putting the final touches on our trip.

Karen is looking forward to a break from work.

Karen and I had great time at this year's Redstone Arsenal Oktoberfest. Each year we run into so many friends at the festival and this year was no different.

Terry Cavanagh and Alpine Express provided great entertainment. I snapped a good picture of Michael Hoffer playing his trombone in the audience.

Karen and I tried for the first time an Elephant Ear topped with powder sugar and cinnamon. It was good, but I think we will be sticking with Funnel cake.

You have just got to stop and wonder when you see a band named “Panic! At the Disco”.

Even though their last full album release “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” was out in September of 2005, their hit song “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” is still is getting great air play.

The Huntsville Stars started the series with a win against the Lookouts in Chattanooga. Game 2 is tonight in Chattanooga. The series moves to Huntsville, Alabama on Saturday.

Karen and I have tickets for both Saturday and Sunday’s games. I kind of hope we get to see two games in the series, but you shouldn’t hope for a team to lose.

Well, it is that time of year, again. I hope to see you at the Redstone Arsenal Oktoberfest, which is put on by the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) organization of Redstone Arsenal. It is open to the public.

I hope that you have marked your calendars for October 14th, because that is when you need to be in Knoxville for the Brewers' Jam.

If you need more information, you should drop an email to Kris Lutz at kris@communitysharestn.org or call her at 865-522-1604. And, tell her that I sent you.

Community Share puts on this great event to raise money for all of their wonderfull services that they provide the area. So, you can feel good that you are helping out the community.

For 20 bucks, you can try as much of the beer as you like. At the gate, it will cost you $25, but how bad is that?

You will want to bring chairs or a blanket to seat on while enjoying the music and beer.

Well, it looks like I may be spending Labor Day Weekend in Colorado Springs. My work travel has been prolonged.

I have been working the night shift and it is getting old. I am writing this from work, now.

I am hoping that we get a few days off this weekend so I can get out and have some fun.
