I had too much fun this past weekend at the American Cancer Society’s 2011 Relay for Life of Monroe/Sky Valley that I’m skipping my look back at the 2009 and 2010 seasons. I mean seriously, look at the picture above. What a beautiful day to spend with your family, friends and the community all while [...]

Team Force: The Peak (2008)
Posted in Relay for Life, Team Force on June 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Ahh, 2008 when I started to write less and less, thus this entry on the 2008 RFL sucked and didn’t capture how big the 2008 RFL really was to Team Force. We repeated as Team Spirit champions. We raised our most money ever! Our bake sale raised $463 (most for a Team Force bake sale), [...]
I Relay For …
Posted in Lists, Relay for Life on June 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It’s a question asked every year at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, usually during the the touching luminaria ceremony. “Why do you Relay?” I relay for my wife. By now you all know the story. If you don’t well then you’re in the right place. This journal/blog is named after my wife’s battle [...]
Team Force: Episode III – What! What! (2007)
Posted in Relay for Life on May 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
“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)
Posted in Relay for Life on May 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Team Force: Episode I – The Start of Something Special (2005)
Posted in Relay for Life on May 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Team Force: The End
Posted in Relay for Life on May 28, 2011 | 1 Comment »
All good things must come to an end and Team Force has definitely been a good thing. Unfortunately, the Force is no longer strong with us. Next week will be our seventh Relay for Life and the last as Team Force. Why the last? Well, it’s time that I take a break (most of you [...]
Slacker Update – January 21, 2009
Posted in Nonsense, Relay for Life, Team Force on January 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’m already slacking on my goals! I’ve already had a couple of blown ups with Lukas. I haven’t started to drop any weight, though I’ve been playing basketball on Saturday and Sunday and walked during my lunch break yesterday. And I haven’t written anything in this blog – minus the complaining about the weather! My [...]
Relay for Life 2008 – June 5, 2008
Posted in Relay for Life, Team Force on June 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m really becoming a slacker when it comes to updating my blog. I apologize, life happens. I finally took a much needed break away from work. It was somewhat of a break as I still received phone calls from my co-workers four of the five days I was away from the office. The [...]
Proud of The Force – April 11, 2008
Posted in Relay for Life, Team Force on April 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I just wanted to brag on how well The Force is doing in raising money for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. So far we’ve raised $1,390. At this point last year (May 1) we were at $420. That’s nearly a thousand dollar difference and we still have three or possibly four fundraisers to [...]
