I am still in Waldorf, MD and as my interviews tomorrow are not far away I will stay here again tonight. After the kids' interviews I will head to Baltimore.

I will wash clothes and dog blankets today, will send out many more requests for interviews and figure out where I will stay tomorrow night. I need to print some surveys to pass out tomorrow to all kids/parents, not just the kids being interviewed on camera.

My graphic designer, Gary Newman, is taking the survey form and putting it into a format that can be filled out and emailed back in. His gift to Shine The Light. Thanks Gary! Gary is an incredible graphic designer and he and his wife Susan have been friends for many years. He did my Patty James Health Guide for me. Here is his web site   http://www.newmango.com/index.html

Now for a good long walk and then back to it! If anything interesting happens today, I will let you know.
