Chuck Z and I (Team Chuck Z) have just finished the Face of American Bicycle ride, and we did ride and we did survive. Pain is weakness leaving the body.
This ride was done by World Team Sports and Soldier's Angels. What I think was a bit more than 200 riders took part, and regular riders and wounded/ill troops took part. This is just one of the things done by Soldier's Angels. We have a way to help them keep getting family members to the wounded, to help with VALOUR-IT, and to do many of the other things they do, by themselves or in partnership with other groups, like this ride.
Today, and today only, we can vote for Patti as a semi-finalist in the America's Favorite Mom contest. Your votes have already helped win money that went to purchase clothing for our wounded. The vote today will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EASTERN(!), and today is the ONLY day you can vote for her. So, please, hit this link (note that it is NOT the same link as before) and vote so that SA has a shot at the grand prize. Please help, for that help DOES go to SA and from there to the troops. Please, take a moment to help make a difference. I can't tell you what this ride meant to the wounded and ill troops, nor can I express how much the other things done mean to the troops and their families.
Vote. Please.

at the airport yet again...
