Playing catch-up today after a tough Tuesday

I was in the emergency room Tuesday afternoon at Bert Fish for asthma, after which I went home and slept. I resumed posting at 2 a.m. and still I have some catching up to do today. I need to get my work done because Sera and I want to watch Game 1 of the World Series. For the record, we're rooting for the San Francisco Giants. We have lots of good stories to post today, including an awesome video on the Veteran's appreciation event and a fundraiser for breast cancer by a local salon owner.
