Okay, my friends know me to be a lazy person. Actually, I'm so far at the leaning edge of the spectrum that I should invent a new word for lazy.
But enough about me....I am finally ending my self-imposed blog vacation to let everyone know that I am walking tomorrow night in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
For those who don't know, Relay for Life is an overnight fundraising event. Teams join up and walk from roughly sunset to sunrise, the walk is held at night for practical (1) and symbolic (2) reasons.
Anyway, I wanted to publicly thank those of you who have donated to the event and urge everyone to check out both Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. After I'm done, I'll post pics and commentary....then I'll go back to seclusion for another 5 months.

(1) Are you frackin'/frelling kidding me??? It's Oklahoma....in the summer, oops. Sorry, John, MIDsummer.
(2) The walk also symbolizes a cancer patient's journey, from sunset, which represents the first diagnosis & starts the long night of the soul, to the exhausting and weakening treatments--usually around 1 or 2 a.m. Finally, around 4-5 a.m., the walkers can start to see the beginnings of morning, symbolizing the end of treatment for the cancer patient.

I was dining this evening with the Queen of Fractal Beauty and her husband, the great hunter Ken. Over chips & salsa, the conversation meandered into the area of what we've never done before (and have NO intention of doing). The Queen stated that she'd never mowed a lawn before (that's probably bad grammar, sue me). I mentioned that I've never changed a diaper before. Ken didn't really have an answer (I volunteered ovulation, but he didn't seem amused). So, what have YOU never done before that you don't EVER plan on doing?
If you're going out this evening, drive carefully, have fun & call a cab, if ya need to!
