A quick personal update: For those of you following our son Riley- He is now back home and doing well. In February, he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumor. He and my wife, little girl Elizabeth and I traveled to Memphis, TN where Riley received treatment at St. Jude's medical center.
