Hi, Craig, things were good this week.
May 5: On Tuesday, it was our opening ceremonies of Special Olympics, which is a marathon of sports which we compete with other Autisic kids/people. It was held at Soldier Field. It was real nice, especially when our school was acknowleged by the entire audience, speakers (at the welcoming speech) and the media. There was a TV crew there, though I'm not sure what station it was. There was rumor that it was NBC 5.
May 6: On Wednesday, it was our first day of Special Olympics. I didn't have anything scheduled for today, but I watched my fellow classmates run and cheered them on. I also cheered on some kids that I didn't even know. It was packed where we were but it seems to me everyone had a good time.
May 7: Thursday: Day 2 of Special Olympics. I got to participate today. I did the 100 meter run. I came in 5th place, but only because of two kids being faster than me and one of my shoes falling off while I ran, but I still kept on running. It was a bit funny to have my shoe fall off. It was great to be a part of Special Olympics today and I'm getting ready for the thrid and final day of it.
May 8: Friday: Day 3 (the final day) of Special Olympics. I did the long standing job. I came in 5th place again. Being at Special Olympics wasn't so great today. Lots of arguing and stuff. I'm also a little glad we're done because I got burned in the sun and my legs hurt a little.
May 11: On Monday, I returned back to the regular routine. Today was pretty good. I only saw a couple of arguments and people goofing off. Also, tomorrow, my class and I have a baseball game against Walter Payton High School at the park at Sunnyside and Western.

It was a bit funny to have my shoe fall off.Timmy, I got a visual image of that and have to confess it made me laugh too. did you stop in the middle of the track to put it back on or keep running.
Run, Timmy, Run.
Nope, MOTS. I kept on running with one shoe. One of the aides in the class said that's dedication.
Hey Craig!
I'm a student at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University doing an enterprise story for my class on crime in Rogers Park. I was wondering if I could talk to you quickly on the phone to get some insight on (the magnitude of, and measures taken to fight against) crime specifically in the Rogers Park neighborhood.
Contact me at nsauerberg@u.northwestern.edu if you have any time during the week.
Thank you so much!
P.S. Your blog is fantastic! Congrats on its success!
