Late Friday afternoon I had a visit from two ladies I never met before. They represented a larger group of people who have been watching my progress on this blog. I was presented with framed gift certificates from my favorite restaurants and movie passes. I find it amazing that I have "a great team, superb coaches, and an entire stadium full of spectators."

This morning after I left the Rehab Centre I went to the Army/Navy Surplus store where I got some really neat stuff. Then I waited while my Dad got a haircut. The barber was really impressed that I knew the song 'Freebird' by Lynard Skynard(?spelling?). I had heard the song before on 'Guitar Hero' and it was one of my favorites, especially when it goes "... myyyy Freeeebiiird, yeah". I offer my apologies if you know that same part and I spelt it incorrectly, but give me a break, I've had a brain injury.

Hope you have as good a Saturday night as mine(but if its that good what are you doing at home looking at a computer screen? Go out and live a little.)

Jared;

You have to know that your blog entry today made me made me laugh and it made me cry....and it made me think. You are a great young man that has a great future ahead of him. Jared, it may not be the exact future you have planned but with your attitude and yes, a little sense of humor, you will do great things.
I am afraid that I can't go back out on this rainy night even to have some fun! I just drove back from Yarmouth where Olivia was playing volleyball. It is wet out there!
I hope you have a very productive and rewarding week.
Thank you AGAIN for keeping us posted.
Janet
