Today was a day where we got to get out of the house and do a little golfing. Well, at least some practice swings on the putting green, and then Anthony showed us how to hit balls by chipping them from the ruff on to the green... gee I even kinda sound like I know what I'm talking about. To say the least, Jason was a better student and did much better than I did. The down side to all this was that it started to rain. We did get under a cover and didn't get too wet. Jason was riding around in one of the Paragolfers from Stand Up and Play and he was doing well the entire time there. Heck even Larry got in on the act and was hitting some balls. The rep from Cleveland Clubs was there (along with several others) and he was helping Jason and Anthony as well. I think he and Anthony know each other. Anyway, we stayed for a few hours and then we had to get going, and with the rain coming down it seemed like a good time, and I wanted to get Jason back down. He said he thought it was a good time to go too. I could tell he enjoyed the visit though, as he talked about the golfing most of the way back to the house.

Tomorrow we need to go shopping for some food. We actually have some food in the house, but we're down bread and a few other things. Its one of those activities that he likes to do, and we seem to do it well together. Other than that, we don't have much planned for tomorrow, so I'm looking at doing some laundry and maybe a few other catch up items around the house.

Right now I think I need to get to bed as I'm getting a bit tired. Thank you, for keeping up with this blog and for all the support and prayers being sent our way. We appreciate it very much.

    Golf may be a sport that Jason is actually a "natural" at with his ability to concentrate and focus so well. Thank you to Anthony !!

    Happy Spring,

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

 First - Happy Easter to you all!! We attended the 11:00am services and it was packed. This was a much happier and more "normal" Easter than last year, and I'm glad. I want to apologize that I didn't get any pictures, but I do know that Linda has taken a few these past several days, so it is just a matter of me getting time with her 'droid and then I can pull a few over here. It has been an amazing last several days... yet it all began a little over three (3) years ago. You see, Amber H. (I forgot to ask her if I could put her name in this blog) attempted to reach out to me, to ask if I was Jason's dad, and if he had lost his military dog tags. Well, as it turned out I didn't see this outreach until just a couple of weeks ago. When I did see it my first reaction was - "Is this some kind'a scam?" I decided to cautiously respond back to Amber, now 3-years later, just to see what kind of response I would get. As it turned out she got back to me
