I want to send a special thank you to KIM FLETCHER who essentially took my place on Race Day and in the preceding days with less than coherent instruction and guidance. She did a great job and I had fun!!
And to the other angels who helped Kim and I pull it off - Eddie, Kris, Kerry and Patricia - thank you!!
Let the Fun Begin
I've been called a social being. Its true. I visited the booths, took pictures with other committee members, and said hello to anyone I knew. I saw my nurse and signed their painting. I showed my radiologist tech my new do - with and without my pink locks. I made Hatcher cry but I swear I didn't mean to - my appearance just shocked her.
I almost missed the start of the Survivor Parade but I was able to wiggle in and found Charyce and Grace and other Young SOS members. Some wanted to cry but I refused. This was a celebration. We are the lucky ones. We are the ones who must celebrate for those who can't.
Once seated, the strangest and most wonderful thing happened. A young man came up and hugged me from behind. He kissed my bald head and said I looked beautiful. And as he ran away, he said keep up the fight. You gotta love it!!
Giddy as a child, I got up and went looking for trouble. I found Ken, Norman, Richard, Charley, Jody Jo, DeLaine and Rudy and I'm sure many more. The smile on my face was permanent. It was a great day!

So some stranger came up behind you and sexually molested you before fleeing into the crowd. Sounds like a good first date.
