I do remember reading that, but owing to the illustrious success of the LTE, it was several months ago and I didn't connect the dots to your screen name. In any case, how wonderful for your baby boy and your family!! Good luck with the marathon!
Hey blublood, you must be new to this thread. My youngest son (now age 3) was diagnosed with a brain tumor in December 2006. He completed his course of chemotherapy on March 5th. His prognosis is now excellent.
I'm running the Boston Marathon this year to celebrate and to raise money for pediatric cancer research with a team from Mass General. There's a thread about that too. But, I'll post it here again. Should you care to donate to my efforts (and join many other DBR posters, thanks guys!), I have website set up for that purpose, http://www.firstgiving.com/lisaburdick. My husband, also a Dukie, is running too.

It's snowing here. Argh.
I need to get somewhere warm and sunny ASAP.
We've just got a cold rain.
Is it too late to jump into this thread? How about if I offer money? As anyone knows who has walked into a cancer clinic of any variety, it's where you can find stories of great tragedy and of equally great heroism. My wife was diagnosed with an estrogen (-) breast cancer now 3 years ago (the threshold for being considered "cured" is 2 years remission with this cancer) and so I know a little of what you've gone through, BostonDev. I've just written you a check which I'll mail out this weekend. Good luck with your fundraising efforts.
I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know whether the observation has already been made but I checked out the posting statistics for this thread and guess what, no Jason Evans. I envision him struggling with the desire to make a statement of delicious irony while steeling his nerve with bloody rites of self-flagellation to resist the temptation to post.
To Infinity and Beyond....!!!!!
It's never too late to join the LTE. Statistics on a thread? Oh wow! How to do that?
I'm up in Kentucky today and tomorrow. Cold and rainy. Bleccch.
Losing lots of money, but getting a sampler pack for devildeac. Some interesting microbrews here. Will report on the Ymm Beer thread tomorrow or Sunday.
Cheers,

I am once again kicking Gregg Doyel's hind quarters as I picked Davidson to the Elite 8 in a CBSSports online pool. I'm even ahead of Neil Patrick Harris at the moment.
I honestly don't know. I have never had any warnings or infraction points and keep my posting pretty clean(just don't read my stuff in snrub, however ). One of the mods did delete a post when I replied to some one who suggested some porn site for some reason and I reminded the poster it was a PG-13 type board and the mod actually complimented me on my reply. So, I guess, no, I have not been a bad boy.
Hmm, Ymo just taught me a neat trick (see the "posting just to post" thread) -- this should be my 114th contribution to the LTE!
But I really did have a question --
Hey BD -- when is the Marathon?
April 21st, 3 weeks and 2 days from now I will be finished (fingers crossed).
Tomorrow - 20 mile training run.
So, who does have the most posts in this thread? This post is number 158 for me.
Thanks to billy for letting me know how to find out.
The bar has been set at 210...wait, make that 211.
All right. Gloves are off.
I went to Marathon Sports this morning and got a better long sleeve running shirt.
