In 2006, Matt and Ginny Mooney had a little boy named Eliot. He was born with Edwards Syndrome. It’s a genetic disorder that wreaks havoc on internal organs. Less than 10-percent of the affected live past their first year.

The Mooneys wasted little time with grieving. Instead, they threw Eliot a birthday party every day. And they documented the time with their son. This video is their story. It’s both heartbreaking and inspiring.

I’m not being sarcastic either…When McDave walked into Roots with a white, fluffy, Russian hat he ate up every second that we ragged on him for it. In fact, I bet he specifically put it on his head at 5am to receive a well deserved berating on that head piece.

I can say without hesitation that I enjoy the berating that I get from my buddies. It’s part of the reason for taking up such hobbies as U.A…(Unicyclists of America).

Ok, that was a draft from earlier…here is the good stuff. On Tuesday, October 21st, Jason Ross emailed me a link to an article in the Dallas Morning News about his son, Brett Ross, and his very first triathlon. What a huge accomplishment for a 7 year old. We were very proud of our young guy, to say the least. It was without hesitation, or thought, that I quickly posted the article (copy & paste) to the www.Tri-ProSoap.Blogspot.com Page. Here is the article.

On Wednesday evening, October 22nd, I was finishing some paperwork on the day of soap making when I received this email below… and thus responded immediately. I’ll let you be the judge and be truthful in your evaluation (see comment at beginning).

Here it is: (without edit(Have I built this up enough?))
