First things first... need to keep this at the top of the blog:

Curbstomp ALS!!

We're getting really close to the team goal of $5000, and to Kev's personal goal of $4000 All the little bits add together to one big bit... and thank you SO much to those who have already donated. If you haven't had a chance yet, please take a moment to visit Kevin's page!

So today was a day of ups and downs. Conversations were less than clear, time sequencing was a real challenge.. leading to a frustrating morning for everyone. Went to the Labor Day block party, which was fun. Glen mostly sat with his plate of chips and only talked to me, but seemed to have a reasonable time.

On a better note, we got his bike tire fixed yesterday, on the condition that the first time he rode, he would go with Kevin so Kev could do a safety check. They made it about four miles. Kevin said that hills were really difficult for Glen, but his hands seemed to have the strength to manage the gears and brakes. So he's cleared to ride for now... especially if he rides near his office, which has a lot of flat, away from traffic bike routes. He has his Levi Leipheimer RoadID bracelet with not only the home phone, but also both my cell number and Kevin's. And he takes his cell phone with him in case of a problem.

Tomorrow we'll finish gathering the information for UCSF, and be there bright and early on Wednesday morning.
