Dear TeamToddTBI,

Happy birthday to Bill Thewes, grandson of Ridge Tool’s founder AND major supporter of my recovery from Day 1. My recovery continues because of my “still” affiliation with Ridge Tool and the prayers of so many, especially those of Bill Thewes.

Naturally, (pun intended: I use the assumption that the trainer’s resistance conforms to an exponential function) I completed virtual flights. “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PBCrsTHjEfAUfUfT1_bHHBzAlWLsoUgG/view?usp=sharing” I breezed [is that also a pun also?] through Mexican and US customs when I completed the flight from MMRX to KLRD. I write about my quirky trainer usage a lot. I would like to know that more than one person has found using a trainer like I do rewarding. To me, exercise is mindless activity repeated in order to obtain a goal. I have fun.

I made progress on my blackjack game. The game now determines if the dealer has a blackjack and if any of the seven plays have a blackjack. Next week, I will develop a scheme so a player can split his hand.

We went to Mass on Saturday night. I was good so waffles were made for me Sunday morning.

Hello, TEAMTODD! Thank you for staying with us. I have not connected with you for the last 2 weeks. Sundays have been busy and Todd has wanted to post at his usual hour.

Last week, Sunday evening, we celebrated Gabriel Wu, graduating from Harvard with a BS AND MS degree. AND! We celebrated Daniel Wu’s graduation from Blair HS. Daniel is off to MIT… It was a GREAT party. We were honored and enjoyed celebrating the occasions with their families.

Todd continues on his journey to recovery. I am amazed and GRATEFUL for Todd’s upbeat attitude! This week, Todd wrote to someone at NIH who was involved with a study Todd did way back.. Neuro Drive, early days of recovery. Todd had all the names and buzz words. Todd wants to share his bike/plane in much the same manor, they did rehab driving. I was quite taken with Todd’s explanation and his very technical explanation. Todd is STILL that VERY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER he was called to be at age 10 years!!!

I am, and you, must be grateful for Todd’s continuing recovery. Todd’s recovery continues because of your prayers, your good works and your continued support and interest. I hope you find many opportunities to share Todd’s success with others you may encounter. I find many opportunities to share Todd’s story with others. I hope they never lock me up because I am a menace with an enthusiastic message.

Thank you all for staying with us, with your continued prayers and support in many ways.

St. Luigi, Pray for us.
