Dear TeamToddTBI,

Since the last update was published, I completed 6 flights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CpYtV4rpEWJq7wUfmrQNRfOb6uidyJhe/view?usp=sharing” I failed to complete the flight to Des Moines International (KDSM) on Saturday. I saved a replay so I could determine a root cause of the failure. A bad landing on a long wide airstrip that enables the airport to be labeled “international” is humiliating.

Also on Saturday, I resumed learning how to cook breakfast casseroles.

On Friday, I will view a webinar, ethics and failure, to obtain two hours toward renewing my PE Ohio License.

My effort to make a blackjack game has stalled as I am struggling to draw chips adjacent to each player’s cards to show their intended wager. In SDL, the screen’s coordinates start at the upper left corner of a window and positive X is the right of that coordinate and positive Y is below that corner. I know this but I can’t seem to remember this as I code. But, I still enjoy coding even though code does issue from me in torrents as it did in the past.

St. Luigi, pray for us.

Hello, TEAMTODD. Thank you ALL for staying with us! I must say, I enjoy reading Todd’s weekly updates. Todd expresses himself very well. I wonder… If someone new was reading for the first time… would he or she realize Todd has a brain injury.

Todd’s injury is apparent in physical ways. You can see it in his walking ability, and his left side weakness especially with his left hand. My guess is that may be Todd’s biggest frustration, the use of his left hand, 2^nd only to cognitive fatigue.

Todd keeps on keeping on…

We need to find an outlet, a way for Todd to be around others, to communicate, to have a purpose to serve. Todd has much to offer and NEEDS outside connections. Please pray this week that we find, have some leads. Todd misses the communications he had at PSC. BUT! I am sure we can find other ways for Todd to be involved in the community and feel helpful. I will be looking into possibilities BUT need your prayers of encouragement and enlightenment.

Todd’s breakfast casserole was “Delish”! After Todd’s gets down pat the many Breakfast Casserole recipes, we will move on to cookies! These guys are spoiled. They have NEVER eaten store bought cookies. I think someone other than me should be able to make cookies.

Thank you, TEAMTODD, for staying with us. We would be lost in discouragement without you. You are the shining light that keeps us going in the right direction!
