    After a week off, GP was back in action racing at LeMans, this week in France. It was a crazy race, because of the wet track conditions. It was drizzling up until the warm-up lap, which caused all of the riders to start the race riding bikes shod with wet weather tires. Pedrosa, Lorenzo and…

    Today was a busy day for us. We spent the majority of it running all over the tri-state area to get Piper’s stuff moved. When we arrived at Blythedale will all of her stuff, she was snoozing away. It didn’t take her long to wake up though, and tangle herself up in some funky position…

    [Reagan, in front of the great lawn, before the race] I thought it was great that the benefit for today’s race was for kidney health. Reagan and I were joking the entire time about that scene from 30 Rock this week, where Dr. Spogemen talks about how kidney transplantation is no laughing matter. Today was…

    These little guys have been doing great. They are eating twice a day, now. I moved the mama back to the large tank, so she could be back with her homies, and resist the urge to cannibalize any of her young. This week some of them have started to develop their little convict stripes.

    We got Piper all moved in back at Blythedale and everything, today. I’m feeling pretty good about the way this week is coming to an end. Reagan had a girls night tonight, with one of our friends who is moving away. It gave me a chance to get out and skate a bit. It was…

    Piper has been doing better and better. Today, her oxygen came down to 35%. She has been getting full feeds and has been super playful. In addition to visibly feeling better, Piper will have one of her favorite nurses for the next couple of days. If she continues at the current pace, it is likely…

    A bit late this week, I know. But I was a little bit preoccupied on Monday, with some more pressing issues. Thursday afternoon is better than never, though. Right? One of the cool things about having a significant other, is being exposed to music, movies and other cultural items that you may have never known…

    Even though this shot of Reagan is small, look how cool it is that both of her feet are off of the ground. She is flying.

    Piper, although clearly still in need of lots of rest and recovery, was acting a lot more like her usual self, yesterday. I took the day off, and Reagan didn’t go into work until 1. So, we were both able to spend a lot of time hanging out with her. It was so fun to…
