On Friday we got to go on a date! We attended the "Heart" Throb Ball at Cleveland Clinic. Basically it was like an adult Prom, supporting and honoring the Cleveland Children's Clinic/Heart Institute.
We found out we were going the day before, so our attire was a bit underdressed.... but not too bad. :) We had a great night, met lots of cool hospital people, saw some really amazing youngsters who have fought various diseases with grace, charity, and smiles on their faces. A couple of them have had to re-learn how to walk, one is now confined to a wheel chair, and the other goes to visit all his "friends" at the hospital every time he's there for treatment, even when some of the patients are much younger than him. It was very inspiring, I can't imagine going through something like a serious disease or sudden paralysis, let alone watching one of my children go through it.
The other guest of honor was Kenny Loggins. Wahoo! We jammed out a little to "Christopher Robin" and then went to retrieve our car from the complimentary valet service. We felt pretty cool, until we saw our awesome Subaru in the midst of big wig dr's cars.... escalades, lexus, and the like. It was very fun, and great to have a night out without the little one.

sounds like a great night, what amazing stories.
Go Kenny! I did not picture him like that. Did you guys do some Waltz dancing along with Kenny's serenading? You two look really sharp :) That's cool you supported that. Love ya!
WOW! Being at the WFCC ("world famous cleveland clinic") will continue to provide amazing bennies! You will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with some incredible people. Keep taking advantage of all these opportunities! Did Kenny remember me from the good old days when we used to hang out together??
Love, Grandpa Glenn
