Namaste,

Sunday was great... My phone started going crazy at 3am, I jumped up to see what was going on and there were contact forms from my website, telling me how my story was inspirational, so I woke Sherrie up and told her the story must be in the paper. My great friend Clark, was adament we attend church at Journey Church in Norman, so I called Peoples Church, and let them know Trey and I would not be there to work in the parking lot. We got to church right about the time church was starting and set down after praise and worship... Clark held up the paper and had me stand and honored me. I got a little teary.... After church, I had hundreds of people come up and shake my hand. Pretty cool! Trey, Sherrie and I stopped by Quail Springs to try and find Mike a birthday present. You can't find basketball jerseys in Oklahoma in the middle of summer! We have a pro team here now for the love of all that's holy! Anyway... Headed over to my buddy Jason's for the Fantasy Football draft. I picked #1 and went with...... Adrian Peterson! Not my style, but everyone including the girl at 7 - 11, told me to go with Peterson. Sherrie made a great baked Tilapia for dinner, then Ben and Kinzy stopped by. When they left, Sherrie and I went for a run. We ran around our whole neighborhood two times, and then walked a third. We almost got carried away by mosquito's. I have at this point had at least 50 emails about my story. I have been ask if I would like to talk to a writer, and have been ask about doing some more speaking. This is what the quest is all about! Time for work!

Love you all!

Namaste,

Saturday was quite busy. Started off really crappy. Sherrie and I attended my friend Kelly's memorial service. The service was nice, but very sad. Her kid's are so beautiful, and while her eleven year old son Mason, was inconsolable, her daughter Morgan who is five probably could not comprehend the magnitude of what has happened. At the end of the service, I shook Kelly's husband Robert's hand. I want to say something but I could not get words to come out of my mouth. I really, really wanted a glass of wine, but that was not to be..... Sherrie and I went to have a bite for lunch. We went to Charlestons, by the airport. We ordered and neither one of us ate much, so we brought it all home. Guess whats for lunch today? We stopped by Epperson photo, and picked up a lens cap for my 2.8, 18 -55 lens. It is one of my favorites, and I lost my lens cap somewhere in Utah. Anyway we came home and loaded up the car and headed over to mom's to do her lawn, then home to do ours. Shower.... Then time to head to Brick Town to do a photo shoot for a family. They have three small boys, and shooting children is a challenge! We stopped by Chelino's and saw Sherrie's mom. Shared some nachos then home to start editing pictures. Some of them are really cute. Anyway time to get ready for church!

Love you all!

Namaste,

Friday was ridiculously busy.... Took the kids to school, then stopped by Starbucks, then on to work. Got everything going and things were pretty smooth. At 2:00 I took off and went to Edmond Hospital to be with my mom before she went into surgery. She has a couple of fingers that are not working, and the doctor wanted to open a little tunnel to release a tendon. She did great, but when I was leaving the hospital... The Edmond police had the road blocked and a helicopter was coming in, but he couldn't find the helipad. Soooo I sat on Bryant for 20 minutes. I went back by the hospital, and checked in with the girls then headed over to mom's to meet Sherrie and Trey. We had to be in Del City by 5:30 for the Oklahoma Epilepsy Association fund raiser. Sherrie was working the registration table, and I took pictures. We had musical entertainment. We had bagpipers, singers, country cloggers, tap dancers, and some other crazy stuff. Anyway....Stopped by mom's to check on her then home to sleep! I don't even remember my head hitting the pillow. Today is going to be tough. We are heading to my friend Kelly's funeral here in a little bit. It is going to be difficult to see her kids.

Have a great day!

Thursday.... My buddy Ricardo came by the office this morning... I had his "Pimp" hat and poker chips. Ricardo and Jenni are leaving for Spain on Saturday, and I wanted to get his stuff back to him before they leave. I did take the kids to school this morning and made my stop at Starbucks. Work was fine. My friend Miriam came by the hospital, and we ended up going to lunch. We went to????? That's right Louie's! We had a good talk. The afternoon dragged along very slowly. So slow I mopped the floor in the pharmacy. I headed to the gym right after work. I ran for 20 minutes, rode the bike for 10 minutes, worked bags, jumped rope, and sweated my boy's off! We had some family obligations to take care of so I came home showered, and we took care of that stuff. Anyway... Working on wills, and other family stuff... Going to bed early!

Good Night!

Wednesday started out pretty good! I took the kid's to school then a stop by Starbucks for a cup of bold. Today was Sumatran.... When I got to work, I kicked it old school style. Got a lot done early, and thank God.... Our State Board of Pharmacy Inspector came by for our yearly inspection. He is a pretty good guy. It helps that he is a huge OU fan. We passed with flying colors. At lunch one of our Doctors brought us food. I did have to run to ERMC and pick up a few items. The afternoon went pretty slow. I went straight to the gym and started cleaning. Then put it on! I ran, rode the bike, ran stairs, crunches, and lifted. Once other people showed up we started setting up for class. Sherrie called me and let me know.... A good friend of mine, Kelly Parr lost her three year battle with liver cancer. Kelly and I worked together for several years. She was a beautiful woman, mother, and wife. I knew she was struggling but I did not know she was this sick. I am broken inside. I know she was a woman of faith, and she is in a better place, but do her children understand? Sometimes life sucks! I wish I could have a drink right now!!!!!

Good Night!

Tuesday was pretty slow at work. Our patient count is still up, but the acuity is down. I met Ben Crocker for lunch. We went to Which-Which, while we were sitting there, DJ White from the OKC Thunder came in. While he was waiting on his sangwhich, I introduced myself and thanked him for the basketball he autographed for me. That's a funny story in-itself. My buddy Mike Giroux installs electronics for Ultimate. One day he called me and told me he was going to install a TV for some Thunder Player. Turned out it was DJ. He told DJ my story, and he gladly signed the ball for me. Went to the gym straight from work. It was hotter than H-E- double toothpicks! I went upstairs to the weight room, and ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill, then did three minutes of crunches, then 6 minutes on the recumbent bike. Tyler Griffen came in. I ask if he would hold pads for me... We did 5 rounds, of Thai Pads. Pretty intense. When the guy's from class started showing up, I started getting my stuff together. I wanted to be home around seven. I have so much going on right now, I just can't afford to be at the gym until 8:30 or 9:00 every night right now. Anyway, Brad Suggs came in and wanted to roll. We rolled for a couple of rounds until they were ready to start class. I came home showered, made a turkey pizza, and did some research on the Himalayans. Time to get ready for work! Love you all!

Monday was a good day. I slept in today... didn't get up until 5:30! Got my shower, and watched the news. Took the kids to school, and then headed to work. No stop at Starbucks this morning. I had a Dr's appointment at 10 this morning, and I knew I had to weigh. I got to the Dr office at 9:50, and didn't leave until noon! I got nine prescriptions, and they took 10 vials of blood. My blood pressure was 110/55 and my heart rate was 50. My body mass index was less than 1/2 of my last visit. After I left the Dr office, I stopped at Starbucks, and got my cup of bold! Went back to work and had a few IV's to make. After work I went straight to the gym. There was still a lot of work to do to get ready for the first night at the new gym. We had a good turn out, it was a little discombobulated, but we made it through. I had a pretty good workout. Got a good sweat. Came home and had a lean cuisine. Time for bed!

Love you all!

Saturday & Sunday, August 22nd & 23rd, 2009

Namaste,

Well Saturday was a good day! Started by speaking at Foundation Bariatric Hospital at 9:00am. It was great. It was a small group, prolly only 30 people, which makes it like a Q & A session. After that, I came home changed clothes, and Sherrie and I met Travis Chyzy, at the Chase building. It was freaking awesome. Travis ran all the way up, while I tried to maintain a steady pace, because I was wearing my pack loaded with 55 pounds. Sherrie went to the 17th floor. I made it to the top in 9:15, and round trip in 15:12. That's a minute and a half faster than last time, and last time I did not have my pack. Sherrie and I went to meet with Stephen at Applebee's then out to Micheal's looking for a basket, for the Epilepsy Foundation. We went to the mall to return a shirt that Sherrie had bought. Then back to Wal-Mart to get stuff for the basket. I came home and got my lawn equipment, then headed to mom's. I knocked her lawn out in under an hour. That's edging, weed eating, and mowing. I came home and started edging ours, and Sherrie jumped in and did the mowing. It was awesome. We got it done. This morning, Trey and I worked in the parking lot at Peoples Church. We stayed for the service, and I'm glad it was awesome. We came home, I changed into work clothes and headed o the new gym. It was a nasty, freaking, crap hole. I spent six hours, cleaning! It is still a nasty crap hole. I came home and showered.... Grilled some veggies, chicken, and Sherrie made a big salad. I am not suppose to eat salad, but I did anyway. After dinner, we made our basket and Boomer took me for a walk. We were just going to go around the block, bu he had another agenda. He pulled out of his collar, and ran about mile. I finely got him back on his leash, and we came home. I am really, really tired and ready for bed! I am excited about getting to the gym tomorrow and training. I have a Doctors appointment in the morning. Just have to get shots and stuff for my trip.

Love you all!

Good evening!

Friday, was a typical Friday. Took Trey and Jordan, to school this morning. Headed to Starbucks for my cup of bold coffee, then on to work. Hit the IV room early and hard, and knocked it out. I met my brother in the middle of the day to pick up my invitations for the send off party. They are pretty cool! Right after work I headed to the new gym and started cleaning. It is a filthy, nasty, dirty, place. It is however, coming together. We don't have a choice, we have to be ready to go by Monday evening! Mike Giroux, Chad Ashlow, Ben and Kinsey Crocker, Travis Chyzy and myself got a lot of stuff done. There is still a ton to do! I am exhausted.... I am speaking at Foundation in the morning, so I am going to bed! Have a great weekend!

Good Morning! Work was relativity busy... I met Sherrie and a friend of hers at Louie's for lunch. It was good, we shared a turkey wrap and some green beans. After work I ran by the new gym. Mike, Chad, Rick, and Ben were there building the new boxing ring. I only had an hour and a half to give. I swept up about 30 pounds of saw dust, moved pallets out to the dumpsters, helped with the ring, then had to head home. I had to talk for a few minutes, then met Mike Champlin at Buffalo Wild Wings for a wing, and to watch a few minutes of the Colts, Eagle's pre-season game. After the first couple of series it was like watching a junior high game. Anyway... Came home and went to bed. I am trying to increase my cortisol levels, and the only way to do that is with sleep. I have no idea what the plan for tonight is, but I know I will be in bed before 10! Have a great day!

Love you all!

Wednesday, was a good day! Work was pretty good... Even though our patient count is good, our IV load is down. At lunch I went by the new gym and checked out the progress. Our new octagon is assembled, and since it had rained cats and dogs, a few of our guys were there working. After work I went straight to the gym. I had the class so the rest of the guys could continue on the new space. We had 11 students last night.... We stretched, ran 4 corners, worked hands, then did a very impressive circuit. I think everyone got their money's worth. Came home showered, ate a bar-b-qued tortilla pizza, then zzzzzzzzzz! Tonight I am meeting Mr. Mike Champlin for a little while. I her there is a preseason football game on? Have a great day!

Namaste,

Today started early... We had some huge thunderstorms roll through at 4:30 and it rocked the whole house. Soooo I got up and showered, then started working on my guest list for the send off. Today was the first day of school for Jordan and Trey and since it was raining cats and dogs. I dropped them off at school. I dropped Jordan firs. She has to catch the bus to Vo-Tech at 7:20. Then I dropped Trey. It was pouring when he got out of the car and I watched him run into the school for his first day of Junior High. Work was kinda slow today.... After work I came home and changed clothes. Went straight to the gym, and cleaned. I went for a good two mile run, then worked a little circuit. When class started we worked offense, and defense in the rear naked choke. We worked a line where half of the guys started on bottom and the top guy rotates through. Everyone wrestled everyone then we went full MMA in the cage. We tried to get everyone on everyone. I had several great rolls. I went for one 15 minute roll with Adam Pratt. He ended up with a black eye, puffy cheek, and sore ribs, I ended up with a big ole fat lip. It was AWESOME. Yesterday morning I weighed a little heavy. After tonight's work out I am back to my normal weight. I lost 10 1/2 pounds in the last 48 hours. I feel good. Anyway time for night, night! Love you all!

Monday came and went quickly. Work was good. We are moderately busy. AT lunch I was going to work on a project, senior pictures for a young man at Sana Fe High School... Well I got all set up and realized his pictures were on my external hard drive... No bueno! Soooo I took a 30 minute nap. Came home after work. Trey and Sherrie had just been to his school to get his locker, and meet his teachers. The school was so torn up that he will not get his locker until next Friday, and can only take pens and paper for the next week. I headed to the gym. I put on my thermal suit and went for a run. I went prolly about 3 and a half miles. Kinda got a little overheated. Went back to the gym and we did a short circuit, then a small ab workout, and we called it good. The guy's wanted to roll a little, so we jumped in the cage, and went buck wild for a few rounds. Came home showered, and started working on guest list for the send off. Then crashed out. We have been having some crazy weather.... Thunderstorms everyday. Right now it is raining as hard as I have seen since I was riding my motorcycle through Wyoming! Have a great day! Love you all!

Namaste,



Thursday, was quite busy. Right after work Sherrie, my Mom, and I went to my mom's church and loaded up 8 tables and 64 chairs for my poker tournament. I left the church and went to the gym. We had a good workout, even though my arm was still quite tender. I did what I could. I had a great idea, to make all of the students at the gym unload the tables and chairs for the tournament. It worked out great. I came home and ate a bite, then crashed. Friday was quite busy as well, As soon as I got off work I came home and grilled Sherrie and I turkey burgers, then headed directly to some smokey bar on May to celebrate my Friend Chad Lovett's Birthday. We only stayed until 10:30, then home to crash out. Saturday was a whirlwind. I started by painting the locker room at the gym at 6:00am. I only had 4 hours to give... It was a filthy nasty roach infested hole of UUUUGGGGHHHHH! Anyway... (frustration) Came home and mowed my lawn, took a shower, headed over to mom's for a minute, then down to the old gym to get things set-up for the poker tournament. We came home and took a 45 minute nap before we had to be at my friend Greg's house for his 40th surprise birthday party. That was pretty fun, but we could only stay about an hour. We headed down to the gym and waited for our peep's to show up. Our turnout sucked! We were suppose to have 100 players. We had 16! It means one of two things. People suck, or I suck? Anyway. For the 16 that showed up... We had a blast. At 11:45 we were down to two players, and they decided to split the pot. We loaded everything up and Blake and Ashley Shores followed us to mom's church to put everything away. Then Sherrie and I came home to put the trailer away, and go to bed. I had to take a shower, then I was wide awake. I ended up separating poker chips, and went to sleep at 3:30. I got up and headed back to the gym at 8:00 for more painting, and I have been on the run ever since. We have been, to Wal-Mart #1, Bass Pro, Took a guy who ran out of gas back to his car, Wal-Mart #2, McDonald's for a parfait, Sam's, Super Target, my friend Kayla Gibson's house, then home so Sherrie could make dinner.... Lot's of veggies, and a pork tenderloin. Sherrie and I went for a walk then home. I just went back through my equipment bag, and repacked everything. I wish I could leave right now! It can't be here soon enough!

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday....Work wasn't bad today. We stayed pretty busy so, the day went really fast. I did sneak into the therapy gym a couple of times to do an ultrasound treatment on my bicep. The rest of the day, I kept ice on it. After work I jetted home and put heat on my arm, and watched the news. Sherrie and I went to the gym at 6:30.... We had an awesome circuit. I did what I could... My arm is actually feeling pretty good. I can't really lift anything, but I'm sure as the swelling goes down, it will feel better. Tomorrow should be a good day. Sherrie is off for the next few days, and she is going to do some special things with Trey the next few days. I'm going to bed.... Love you all!

Namaste,

Good morning! Yesterday, I had soooo much to do that I took a day off from work, but feel like I worked harder than, I would have at work. It started with a drive to Norman at 7:00am. We had a major thunderstorm, and traffic was bad. Trey went with me so I stopped at Starbucks to get him a frozen "Hot" chocolate. On the way home we had to stop at the post office and send some Smith Mountaineering Glasses back to REI. I love them but they are too small for my big head. We came home and I had to take Jordan back to Santa Fe to finish her enrollment, and get her books, and locker. We came home and Jordan had to get ready for work, I took her o work, and headed over to mom's to get Trey's bathing suit..... We then headed over to Legacy Bank to open a new account for the gym, they do ACH debits from our members accounts, and maybe people will pay their dues. After that Trey and I hit Louie's and shared a pizza, then over to Vital Signs. My buddy Justin owns Vital Signs, and he is going to make me a banner for my summit attempt. Trey and I then went to Pelican Bay to swim. We had only been there for a few minutes when he cut his leg open on a sharp piece of the ladder. It would not quit bleeding so they gave us a rain check. I took him to pink swirl to get an ice cream, then home. My brake light keeps coming on, even though I just replaced my brakes, so I pulled off my front wheels and moved some stuff around the light went off.... At 5:00 I headed to the gym because It was a filthy mess. I didn't get finished cleaning until 7:00. We had a huge class, 25 guy's in all, and we had to split into three groups. I went with Hayes, and Griffen, and we worked on single leg picks, and side control. After class I need to roll, so I started calling people out. I had three taps, then I called Travis out. He came out punching, and I threw him in a hip toss, when we hit the mat my right arm was under both of us, and something popped, tore, or pulled. OUCH! I went ahead and kept rolling, but the pain was worse than when I dislocated my shoulder. Come home took a scalding hot shower and some Lortab, went straight to bed. Every time I turned in the middle of the night my freakin arm hurt, so rest was tuff to come by. Anyway.... Time to get ready for work!

Love you all!

Monday was quite busy at work. Our patient count is up a little, and our IV count is pretty heavy. After work we had to be at Santa Fe High School to pick up Trey's schedule. Summit Middle School is under construction, and so they had to move enrollment to Santa Fe. We came home after that and I mowed the lawn. We had thunderstorms moving into the area, and even though I just mowed three days ago.... With all the rain we have had, the grass was tall. It didn't take thirty minutes to get that taken care of. Then it was time to head to the gym. We got there right at seven, and it was a big class. We had to split up into two groups, and half of us worked on hands, while half of us worked grappling. We came home, showered, ate some leftovers, and CRASHED! Today is going to be very busy. My head feels like it's going to explode! Love you all!

Good Morning!

Sunday was a great day. Started with working at the church in the parking lot, then Trey and I stayed for service. We came home after church and made a quick trip to Wal-Mart for some grilling supplies. I came home and rebuilt my grill, then headed down to the Chase building for a quick climb of the 35 story stair case. My hiking boots, weigh 4 pounds and climbing the stairs is a great way to condition my legs for the uphill hike. I think the next time I climb the stairs, I will load my pack with 30 pounds, and try that. I made it up and down in 16 minutes, and 20 seconds, and that includes stopping at the 35th floor to take a picture. When I left there I went to the new gym and met Mike Giroux.... We started cleaning the back corner out, and getting it ready to start moving equipment in. It was really nasty in there! I told Sherrie I would be home at 3:30, because of friend Miriam was coming over for dinner. Miriam has really been a blessing in the last month. She has really stepped up the fund raising efforts for the quest. She is organizing my send off part for me and I don't think it's something I could have handled right now. We grilled veggies, and made shish-k-bobs, with chicken, shrimp, and steak. We put everything in bowls, and everyone made their own skewers. It was a blast. Anyway... I need to get ready for work. Have a great day!

I love you all!

OK... Started early. Had to pick mom up and take her to work, which means I got to work at 6:45. I started early and it's a good thing because we got busy. I met my friends Joy Brown and Stacy Phillips for lunch. They were going to lunch and, well I invited myself! We went Louie's. I had loaned Joy's husband Caleb my rain jacket for a trip to Japan, and she brought it back to me, and it's already in my bag for Nepal. After work, I came home and we got Trey and took him shopping for his school supplies, and a few new clothes. Sherrie took him to mom's while I did our lawn. After all of the rain we had this week, the grass had really grown. After I finished the lawn I caught a quick shower, and we went to Crest to get groceries. We came home and Sherrie crashed out I started cleaning house and finely went to bed at 2:30. I started this morning at 5:30... Cleaning, moving pictures, exercise equipment, and then over to mom's to do her lawn, then replace her fuel pump. The fuel pump took all day, and then home to get ready for some guy's from the gym to come over for the UFC fights. I am going to bed the minute the fights are over. I will write more tomorrow!

OK... So my mom calls me at 7:00 and tells me her car is broken down, it is raining cats and dogs, and the lightning is crashing like crazy. I tried to jump it and it sounded like it was not getting fuel. Soooo I went back to work. Later in the day Ed from maintenance helped me tow it back to work. It is the fuel pump and it will be the weekend before I will be able to get to it. After work I came home and laid down in the bed to watch the news.... Next thing I know it's 6:45 and I really wanted to get to the gym. I jumped up and made it to the gym by 7:00. We had an awesome 2 hours circuit. When I got home at 9:15 I was still drenched, and a little sore, but feeling really good about my cardio. I usually run on Friday mornings, but I have to take mom to work at 6:30 so we'll see what happens. I need to run... I also need to do the stairs at Chase this weekend. Going to bed! Love you all!

Wednesday was good... Good! I went at noon and looked at the new space we will be moving the gym into. It is going to be nice, but it will also take a ton of work. I ran back to work and started changing the back brake pads on my car. After a while I gave up and went back inside. It was very difficult, and It never would have gotten put back together without our maintenance department. After work I went straight to the gym.... I got a good workout in, then ran to the Conoco to get 5 lottery tickets. I guess I need to check them and see if I need to get ready for work or not? Anyway we had a great class, and everyone worked really hard. After class came home, did dishes, laundry, and made a turkey tortilla pizza. Then off to sleepy time. Have a great day!

Good Morning all.... Monday was well Monday! I had a case of the Monday's. I took myself off of Caffeine completely. OMG.... Was that a good idea? Caffeine has a tendency to dehydrate you, but it also acts as a stimulant. Since I stopped drinking coffee, I was hungry all of the time. I was not in a very good mood. After work I went straight to the gym. We had another board of directors meeting. It was OK.... We are going to move the gym. We had a good workout. Sherrie is becoming a bad, bad, girl. Her kicks are really coming on, and she is becoming sooo aggressive. Makes me happy! I really think id a situation arose she could handle herself. After gym came home, showered, and crashed out! Tuesday was a good day. Had plenty to do at work. I did unit audits, which took most of the day. After work I headed straight to the gym. The photographer from the Daily Oklahoman came to take pictures for the story that is going to run in the paper. Sherrie came up and the photographer took several pictures of us together, and of me working out with Ben. After he left, Ben worked me over for a good hour, and when Travis arrived, and stretched we rolled. It went really well, until I was letting him up, and he caught me with a hook. Busted a blood vessel in my head.... I have a giant knot on my head. I look like a dork. Anyway, had a great workout and was home by 7:30. I just got off of Skype with my guide Naba... I am only 40 days out! I can't help but get excited! Anyway! I need to get ready for work! Love you all!

Kinda a Blah, blah day. Got up and went and worked at Peoples Church, then home and picked up Sherrie and we headed to Life Church. I don't know why, I guess I was trying to be nice. Anyway when we got home I started sorting through Trey's toy boxes. What a bunch of stuff..... We hung posters in his room, and really got it looking nice. At 5:00 I met Ben, and Mike at Applebee's to discuss the future of the club.We had Rick Warren join us and he had some great ideas. Rick's dad owns some property, and we went to look at one of his buildings. It has a lot of potential.... Came home for some dinner, and then just cleaning up for this week. It will be another busy week.

Busy day.... Work was good, we are a little slow at work, so we actually got off an hour early. I came home and loaded my weed eater, and blower and headed to my buddy Jason's house. He has been in Chicago for a week and a half, and we have had soooo much rain, that I knew his lawn would be out of control. I got over there and did he edging and weed eating, then I was going to use his mower.... Guess what? Couldn't get it out of his garage. I guess he threw the breaker to the garage door, and I couldn't find it. Sooooo I headed over to mom's and knocked her lawn out. Then Came home and did mine. Got a quick shower, and took Sherrie to Budda Tao, for dinner. I love the Shittake roll.... Mushrooms, red bell peppers, and cream cheese. Then we came home and relaxed. Saturday morning, got up at six to take Jordan to work, then started in Treys room. We painted, and it took most of the morning. At about noon, we cleaned up, and has several pictures to deliver. We went by Miriam's house and dropped off a picture I took, in Arkansas. Then we headed down to Chelino's to give Rosa her pictures from last weekend. After that we went and looked for furniture for Trey's room. We found a bed but damn, people are proud of their stuff. We came home and I ended up hanging his new ceiling fan. Took a shower, washed the car. Then off to sleepy time. Today, will be a bunch of running around and putting Treys room back together. Love you all!
