Well, I figured I should write something. I can't be too long, and I'll write again soon in more detail.
The last few weeks have been eventful. Besides numerous doctors appointments for Mike, he's been doing a lot. We took him up to the Cleveland Autoshow this year. That was fun. Also, this past Saturday we went up to the Cleveland Auto-Rama.
As you all probably remember about the first photo on this page, Mike and I (and Kurt) met the jet dragster driver Jessie Harris up at Night Under Fire last summer. That was the girl in the photo. Her and her family have been keeping tabs on Mike's recovery. They are wonderful people. Well, to keep things short, she was present at the Norwalk Raceway booth up at the Auto-Rama, and we paid her a visit so she could see Mike first-hand. She was shocked and amazed to see him. Mike (and all of us) were also blown away by the show of kindness by her and all of the Hanna Motorsports and Norwalk team (including the Niedermeyer's). Mike got his picture taken with her and even got to sit in her dragster (something no one gets to do).
Al and Ellen Hanna and the rest of the team were very easy to talk to and super friendly. It is such a comfort to know that people like this exist in the world. We are all amazed.

That being said, I have started to upload some photos of the visit to the Flickr website. However, I reached my max upload amount for this month for the free site, so I couldn't get them all up there. Check back after April 2nd for more.
I've also got a video of Mike getting out of the dragster. Once I can get it up on the server, I'll post it as a link at the top of the page so you can view it.
Well, I have got to get ready for class, and as I said, check back soon for more pics and probably another post.
