I really am. I haven't done a great job of keeping up with this blog this summer.
A quick update: Echo is still alive. She has lung cancer but the vet doesn't know if she's sick right now because of the cancer or something else. She has stopped eating for the most part, so J and I are "assist feeding" her, which is just a euphamism for force-feeding. She perks up a lot when she eats, which is a good sign. The vet said I should consider a feeding tube, but I really don't want to do that. I'd rather force-feed her. I've spent all my SVP annual meeting savings on her - at least the money I had saved for the hotel. I'm doing my best to save it up again before October, but it's going to be hard! My father has offered to lend me some money if I need it, so I'll definitely be able to go.
I'm going to be really busy for the next couple of months with weddings, birthdays, school and the cat, but I'll try to get some stuff posted. I'm sure once school starts I'll be posting like crazy. Funny how that works.
Thanks...you guys are great and I can't wait to meet some of you this fall.

My heart -- and my wife's! -- goes out to you and Echo. We really hope for the absolute best outcome...! I was worried that you'd end up not being able to hit Cleveland, but very glad to hear that won't be the case!
Oh...and you've been an excellent blogger, time or no...you have nothing to apologize for!
Thank you, Jerry! And thank your wife for me, as well. I appreciate that you keep reading, even though there are huge gaps in when I write!
