cynicism about sports is easy.  Just like it is about your opponent, right John?.  We are used to being that way.  But I offer you a ray of hope in our suspicious, expecting performance-enhancing drugs world.  

We do have some GOOD people there.  I even know one of them.  He's a member of the US Soccer team.  Yesterday, he scored the winning goal in the match against Japan. But, as much as I love and respect Stu, I wish I didn't know him.......

I’ve posted before on childhood cancer. You kind ladies voted me on the island, as long as I mind my manners.  

But a recent article in CURE magazine entitled No Child Left Behind frightens me.  And it should you too.  Because if you have kids, know kids, are a kid, then you should know that 1 in 300 kids are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 20.  4 out of 5 of them survive at least 5 years.  But the long term affects of using smaller doses of adult chemo regimes effects them developmentally, internally, and increases the chances of secondary cancers.

now don't let THAT turn you off, immediately. I typically do not barge into groups of women, got a good one already thanks.  I guess am a little different in that I am a Dad on a mission.  It's a mission filled with joy and hope.  And anger and sadness.  

It's a mission I didn't signup for, but was forced on me.  It's a mission I wish I never even knew had to be done, just like I didn't a year ago.

I will use any means to beat my enemy. And, I have found that Mom's, especially loosely organized yet functional groups of Mom's, can be a deadly ally.  Or enemy.  I want you on my side......here's the deal,
