“What! What!”, according to the Urban Dictionary, is often used as a sort of taunt after a proclamation has been made. This is usually used in the hip-hop genre. In 2007 “What! What!” became the catchphrase for Team Force. The DJ (aka Big Dog) would say our team name and we responded with “What! What!” Like [...]

Team Force: Episode II – The Beginning of the Spirit (2006)

I enjoyed looking back at our 2006 campaign. I could feel the excitement in what I had written five years ago and remembered that year as the one that ignited the next three. Unlike 2005 when we were a last-minute team and we were overwhelmed with the emotion of the RFL, we came prepared in ’06. The [...]

One thing I enjoy about writing in my journal blog is that it can often become a “Turn Back the Clock” for my family and I. As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog I am going to take a look back at the six years that precede Team Force’s seventh (and likely final) American Cancer Society Relay [...]

Pictured above (left to right) [...]

I accomplished a first in my life this Friday. Register it in my Baby Book under My First Stitches – Friday, May 21, 2011 (33 years, 229 days old). That’s right I’ve never had stitches in my life but now I have two in the most uncomfortable of places. If you haven’t guessed it already, I [...]
A Mother’s Day Letter to my Mom

Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day 2011! I tried to write another sappy “You’re the Best!” Mother’s Day letter but I think I’ve told you every year about how much I love you. You really are the best and, as much as people think it’s a joke, I’m very proud to tell people, “I’m my Mother’s [...]
