Go O's

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Harry's Best Buddies race on October 18th.  He has raised three times the amount of his original goal and has increased his goal since he first set it! When you open his page, the photo is Harry leading the pack in last year's ride -- when he took the lead over numerous former U.S. champions and former Olympians for several miles. http://mydc2014.bestbuddieschallenge.org/harryweinstein.  We are very grateful for everyone's support so far and hope Harry makes it to the top 25 fundraisers in the DC area.

Harry had a great week.  He felt good and was even able to make the walk back and forth to Kesher Israel on Yom Kippur.  Perhaps it was going to the Orioles' opening playoff game on Thursday night with his Kesher pal, mentor and the all-around great guy he looks up to: Alfred Moses.  Five years ago, they began sitting together in synagogue on Yom Kippur and have done so every week every since.  Alfred has filled a role of family elder statesman that we do not have here in Washington. And even years later, Harry is a bit shy and reserved around Alfred whom he reveres. Even after interning for him at Promontory.

On Sunday, PopPop came to visit before heading back to Florida.  While a short visit, it was great to see him and it made the week all the more special.

On Monday, Harry heads up to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to figure out what has been going on with his back, groin & knee. Then, he comes back to Washington on Tuesday to check into Children's National Medical Center for a three to five-day stay for another meth binge.

Though hearts are with the Nats, our stomachs are with the Orioles who have better kosher offerings
