Report on Actual Walk.  Day 1 (Friday)

 We met at Roz’s house, loaded up and headed to Washington, D.C.  We arrived, checked in hotel, put on our “special” team Flohr shirts that Michelle O’Connor had made for us, and headed to registration at the Kennedy Center.  There we found out that the computers had failed earlier in the afternoon, so we got to wait in line on the Kennedy Center plaza.  Actually great views of the river and of planes taking off every 3 minutes. You can view a slideshow for Friday (Registration Day) composed by Roz. 
 

 Roz was our official photographer and sag wagon and she did an outstanding job.  She even drove throughout D.C. without getting arrested! 
 Sometime ask us about the time she “gave the finger” to a cop in upstate N.Y. with several of us yelling at her, “No, Roz, we don’t do that in the U.S.”.

Then went to hotel for pre-dinner wine and then out to eat and then back for post-dinner wine and then to bed.  If anyone ever starts a “Wine-a-thon” for breast cancer, we have a winning team already trained!
 

We were up at 5 am Saturday morning for the beginning ceremonies and the start of the walk.  Saturday was forecast to be in the 60’s and sunny.  IT WAS NOT!!!  Unfortunately, we all believed the forecast and only brought shorts!

53 more women in the U.S. have died from breast cancer since we ended the walk yesterday and 317 have been newly diagnosed!

 I’ll give you this in short doses, so we’ll do the rest of Saturday later.  Translated, I’m still busted and am going to bed, not that I’ve been up that much all day!

 Until later and thanks
 

IF I DON'T, WHO WILL?
