The game sounds like fun. I know the kids & crowd will enjoy it. What an awesome way to spend some of your birthday....knowing you are starting another year helping others. You're the best! Have a great 38th. I am 2 years behind ya and always dread the next one! I guess it's good to know we are still young enough run up & down a gym floor. Keep life fun!

Hey Rock, Let me first say Happy Birthday! I know it isnt for a couple days but today is mine so what the hell. Capricorns rock! I thing thats great for you to take the time and go to the high school for this event, it will surely add to the outcome. The Atlantic City show coming fast dude, its going to be a blast. I went last year and we partied all night. I hope you can make it to Philly this year for a show or something, anyway take care and see you soon!!! Later, TJ
