ED FROM PENNSYVANIA
I thought I would share with you about Last Saturday. I had lunch with a friend, Ed Olsavicky. Ed is a terrific friend and a relative of Lou’s. I met Ed at Lou’s wedding many years ago.
While Ed was in town this Thanksgiving holiday, he wanted to get some good old Texas Bar-B-Q. Lou took us to Goode Company where we had a great lunch. Ed wanted to know everything about JUST ASK, and how things are going at my office. It was great talking to Ed and catching up on things since I saw him last.
I hope you enjoy the photo. He now has a Just Ask! t-shirt and will be talking aboutf Just Ask and neurofibromatosis when he gets back to Pennsylvania. Thanks ED for the lunch. See you in D.C.!
The Many Faces of The Texas Renaissance Festival, 11/28/08.
To the many new friends that I met at the Texas Renaissance Festival on Friday I’d just like to say, thank you for making it one of the most fun days in my life.
There are so many new people that I’ve met that I don’t remember your names but you can definitely see your photo below. Special thanks to Taarna the Ice Queen Faerie for the beautiful handmade pin that I’ll treasure forever, Queen Bonnie and her Realm for making me a Knight (Don’t worry, I will smash the wicked peeps at every opportunity!).
Thank you Arsene Dupin – Juggler, Magician, Comedian, Mime Extraordinaire, Louis and Matt – The Fabulous Other Brothers, Blair the Beer Mistress, The Kissing Lady that was so sweet, the guy from the Houston Roller Derby with the beard and kilt, my special friends from Goodwill, the English couple in black leather that I had my picture taken with last year and this year, and finally to all the hundreds and hundreds of people at the Texas Renaissance Festival who make me feel like a King.
Thank you all and I’ll see you next year! MORE PHOTOS HERE!

2008 Texas Renaissance Festival, 11/1/08
Reggie, Lou, William and Geo went to one of my favorite places in the world, the Texas Renaissance Festival.
I met a lot of great people like Lisa, Christina, Lewis, Barbara “The Fairy Lady” and saw a lot of old friends including the “Pretzel Guy” and the belly dancers from the International Festival.
The weather was perfect, the entertainment very good, and I had the BEST DARN steak on a stick I’ve ever had!
Now if there was some way we could go without Lou having to tag along!!!

We have two styles we’re looking at – distressed and/or solid colors. We’re also investigating different colors for the shirts.
Which design do you like? What colors would you prefer?

Shiner, My New Dog!
Just got Shiner. Meet my new dog. Shiner is a great dog and I’m thankful to my new friends Connie and Jaen Lawrence. They helped me with making a great home for my dog. We went to the Pampered Pet Inn. When I saw Shiner he came over to me and laid down. He was just the dog I wanted. He’s right next to me as I write. He will be watching TVLAND tonight.
Lets talk pets. What kind do you have. What kind do you want?
Psych Ward Sirens #1 in our Hearts!
Last night’s Houston Roller Derby championship bout between the Psych Ward Sirens and the Bayou City Bosses was one for the ages! I thought the Sirens just might pull it out in the end but with 45 seconds left in the bout, two Sirens were in the penalty box allowing Death by Chocolate to run out the clock.
Both teams rocked last night! Although the Sirens may not of won, they certainly came out as winners. I’ve never seen more heart and passion in a sport than what I saw last night. I think Mistilla the Killa gave Holla-Pain-Yo a complex last night! Every time I looked up, Mistilla was introducing Holla-Pain-Yo to the floor. And Carmen Geddit was steady as a rock!!! All night long. Never giving up. Incredible performance! Jekyll & Heidi had an incredible jam in the first half helping to keep the score close. Congratulations to the Bosses! Both teams played their hearts out.
A blog by my friend Rick in England!
I was looking at your blog – I didn’t realise that you were affected by Hurricane Ike! I’m glad that you are OK! You definitely have more interesting weather in Texas than we have in England! 🙂
The roller-derby looked very cool! That’s when everybody wears roller-skates, right?
I will ask a friend to take a photograph of me wearing my Just Ask shirt tomorrow! 🙂
The NF Camp For All looks totally cool! What types of activities did you do at the camp?
I am still trying to think of the best thing that I could draw for a t-shirt design for your auction or foundation. As you suggested, I could do one-off art for the auction, but I do my art on a computer, so it would have to be a high-quality print-out. Maybe we could print a few and say they are “limited edition prints”?
I have been reading about NF research on the web to get some ideas about a design.
You are a big hero, my friend – you help so many people in such a big way. 🙂
Remember that I mentioned that I have OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)? Well, I am going to give a talk to some medical students tomorrow about it, to try to help more people understand about it.
Have a great day!
Your English friend, Rick.
Request from the Texas Neurofibromatosis Foundation
We need your help! We just learned that members of the House and Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee will be meeting this weekend to work on the 2009 Defense Appropriations bill. We need you to contact your members of Congress to inform them of the importance of NF research so we can save the Department of Defense NF Research Program.
Please take the time to call, fax or email your members of Congress. Ask them to contact Congressmen John Murtha and Bill Young, in the House, and Senators Daniel Inouye and Thad Cochran, in the Senate. Have your representatives ask Murtha, Young, Inouye, and Cochran to provide $20 million for Neurofibromatosis research through the Army’s NF Research Program in the Fiscal 2009 Department of Defense Appropriations bill.
This is urgent! To find your representatives go to http://www.congress.org.
Thank You,
Texas NF Foundation
Texas NF Foundation is committed to meeting the needs of people challenged with neurofibromatosis by providing care, comfort, support, information, education, funding and other resources for its treatment, prevention and cure.
HURRICAN IKE
Reggie asked me to blog in and let everyone he is ok except that he has no electricity and no internet. But, and I must add, more importantly, I’m ok!!!! I know a lot of people are breathing a sigh of relief and I’m happy to let you know that not only am I alive but I am making a handsome profit selling glasses of water to staring hurricane victims for just $5 a glass. Hey, it’s a national disaster, we all need to do our part
