Ally's students have supported me with my battle with my disease. These three kids have been awesome. They made a huge banner and placed it on the football field wall for all to see. It said " We Love Mr - T ". I started coaching football in the Spring of 2008 at Ally's high school. I had a ball coaching these kids. An awesome group of players who made my experience as their coach great

Here I am talking with Steven Clark
Sergio Ramirez asks me a question on the sidelines during  one of our games Devon Townsend was our quarterback. I spent a lot of time working with him on his QB skills and he rewarded himself and me with some awesome performances. I was proud of him as he had a great season.
Never forget those who died defending the freedom of our country. I could probably get a job delivering Pizzas on Mojo. Everyone knows I love Little Caesars $ 5 PIzza.
I had a recent observer stop by to check out my detail work on Mojo while I was busy cleaning him up. Look closely at this picture and see if you can spot my buddy Yup, it was Kermiq the frog from Iraq all dressed up in his military sand colors. He approved of the job I was doing and happily hopped away.
Two of my friends " Sadie and Wassup " rode over from Orlando to see me and have lunch. They rode in a cold rain and I told them I wouldn't even do that to go see myself. :) We enjoyed a great lunch together and conversation and friendship. They also dropped off " Woody's Journal " for me to read, enter my notes and to pass on to a fellow biker. The journal has been all over the country and is a tribute to a fellow rider who died of Cancer.

Dr. Andy Brockmyre. One great person and an awesome friend. Andy is our family physician who we have developed a close relationship with. I cannot say enough good things about this guy. Can you imagine raising 9 kids ? That's what Andy and his wife are doing. I think this explains what kind of person he is. One great human being and one great Christian. He's my home boy and I am glad I have him in my medical corner The Vampire extraordinare.  Jennifer takes my harassment very well and surprisingly has yet to smack me. I know just which buttons to push with her. Jen has been special because she has been my needle pusher since 2000. I am sure she has her days she wishes I would change doctors. Even though she wont admit it, she would miss me :)
Another Lab lady, I can always get Sarah to shake her head and roll her eyes, and of course smile. I also know which buttons to push to get her wound up. She is another great needle pusher though she hates sticking me. She normally sits in the corner quietly and smiles while I am teasing Jennifer. But I can  always get her wound up just by asking  " has your man cooked for you lately ? That normally starts the fire. :) Ever seen an Asian German Shepherd ? Tessa squints for this picture
This photo was done by a great friend of mine Valorie More of Valorie's artistic photo talents.
This is a tough life Tessa laying outside and keeping watch on every thing.
