Well I really don't know where the days are going. Is my life so drab that the days are all running together un-noticed? Or is my life that good?! Ayse made a comment on one of our evening walks recently, stating before we know it, my brother Derek will be sixty! Good Lord, I hope he doesn't see this. I don't think the next eight years will fly by that fast!

Before I get too long-winded, I'd like to let you know about a change: I'm moving this blog over to my hotmail and Yahoo! user name, swhite.geo. The geo is from an old, old geocities online community, back before blog became a common household name! Anyone remember geocities? The reason is when I started the windows Live Spaces site, I somehow managed to do it under Ayse's user name. Well, times have changed, and I just want to realign things a bit. So, be sure and add www.swhite.geo.spaces.live.com to your favorites for future use.

I said before that this site will be more focused on my daily battle with ALS, and that still holds true, but I don't dare say I'll try to write an entry every day, that's just not possible. I'll try to stick with what's important, and maybe throw in something funny from email as filler, to help when I just don't have the time or energy. Speaking of email, I'm also trying to get away from our joint earthlink account, and use my yahoo and hotmail accounts. Still haven't decided which I'll stick with, different advantages to both. Something else I'd like to say about email: I'm working on a disclaimer for my signature block, something like this:

This email is certified by the originator to be free of any solicition, boycott, scam, spam or petition . You will not be asked to forward to anyone in exchange for any reward, profit, healing, salvation or glorification correlating to how many it's forwarded to, or how quickly. Any other ideas for it?

I read something recently about the "suck factor" associated with pc's and the internet. Not to worry, this site is rated "PG", for Pretty Good". Anyway, it had to do with how easy it is to be sidetracked by all the cyber trash out there. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should have a good belly laugh at least once a day, but as soon as you forget the reason you got on the net in the first place, you've been sucked in!

I do have some great news: Dad will be going down to pick Brad up this Thursday or Friday, and he'll be staying until about Tuesday. Will probably stay with mom and dad for at least the first night. Then hopefully he can be here with us for a day or two. I'm sure mom will get Christina here to see him as well. However, sometimes the good has to come with bad... Apparently, Brad saw an eye doctor last week, who told him and Debbie that he is now considered legally blind, at least in the left eye, on the impact side. We knew he may have problems with it, but just didn't expect this severity. That's all I know for now. I'm sure Debbie will enjoy the break, as she's been by his side since the accident. Thanks for your consistent prayers on his behalf!

Enough for now, more later...............
