The Final Tally

double-edged sword noun

    : something that has or can have both favorable and unfavorable consequences

(source: Merriam Webster)

Over 1000% of the goal in our first crack at it. If we were to average the goal set and the final amount we collected to figure out what should be our goal to fundraise next year, it'd be about $2000.

Our fantastic family and friends raised our bar slightly too high. Victims of our success? I think so!

Of course, we'll gladly cut ourselves on both sides of the blade for TAAF, in honor of my brother.

Again and again. :)

We lost count of how many people asked at yesterday's walk

if my bike was being raffled off. Shoot, I wonder

how much money I could raise if I do raffle it off!

Let's Try This Again

When I dropped my bike on a bed of rocks over half a year ago, and after dropping off the rashed panels at Bob's paint shop to be re-done, I finally have them back!

No complaints; it's always a good thing when you have to wait for your pieces because your friends' businesses have had a lot of work. That's never really a bad thing!

Man. So much has changed in the time I waited for the repaint!

Besides, all's well that ends well. Got it all back together and ready, just in time to be displayed at this Sunday's annual awareness walk for TAAF. :)
