    She left me a voice mail yesterday but I didn't get it until late and today is surgery day. Plus, I got word last night that a co-worker died recently as her breast cancer had metastisized to her brain. Seeing that video is wonderfully cheery.

    I'm honored to have a tiny little cameo appearance with her. I need to find Mr-to-be Emerald's phone number.

    Just talked to Mr-to-be Emerald; she's doing great and reports are good. Just before she was wheeled away this afternoon, he asked her when she wanted to be back on the bike. The answer, of course, "Right now."

    Thanks for posting the link Kim. Great Video

    SK - being all the way over here I had no idea that Cindy was going through this. Thanks for the updates.
