Hard times this past week

Posted by Ralph | 4:08 PM

They say that "even the best made plans fail," and I experienced the biggest failure ever. As you know I was supposed to be in Miami Bch last week, celebrating my b-day and photographing the NASDAQ 100 Open. On my way to the airport on the 29th I had the most overwhelming sickness of my life.

I have been in the hospital since then, just got out today. Non-refundable flight, hotel and tennis tickets.....bleh. All of my hard work was for nothing, but I'm not quitting. Stay tuned, I have plans for this "dis"ability of mine.
