Will try to make it. Great event, and great cause (close to my heart).

Thanks to the JLMC for continuing to host this event!

Thanks again to the JLMC for holding the event. Weather was beautiful, and the walkers had a great time.

Really proud of my 5 year old son Casey for completing the entire walk this year (in the past 2 years, he’s been too tired to finish and I either had to take a shortcut or carry him back to Moose Hill). Happy to have been able to participate again this year, and look forward to doing it again next May!

P.S. Nice to see and say hello to a few friends that I hadn’t seen since taking my new job in Merrimack. Thanks to Kathy and others for keeping Casey entertained during our quick “break” from the walk!

Peter: It isn’t too hard to bulk up at the gym, any moron can do it. Unfortunately for Red there is not much that can be done to fix his stupid.
Bill: Hey Tammy, Your lack of condemning Jerry Connor is an implicate endorsement of what he did. Any legit organization would disavow his actions for: a. being totally inappropriate and b. for...
Red Forman: Steve, looks like you need to start working out.
Red Forman: Steve. A while back you showed interest in some silly study that showed how liberals use the left side of their brain more (the logical side). Here is one you might not like. Weaker men...

Mac: Steve, you only got dragged in because you allowed yourself to be dragged in.
Dan Tamburello: Jerry, I commend you for honing up to the tasteless and disgusting Mother’s Day card. It would be nice if you actually apologized, but from your comments it is clear to me...
Frank Campisi: I find the use of these childrens images appalling. Let me say this, we dishonor them when we turn things like this into a political circus. OK, I have to fess up. The quote,...

Jim Loiselle: Sad pathetic little people making “political” points (and not good ones at that) over dead children. Sad, sad, sad.
