The Starbright Foundation has a " videos with attitude " series for preteens

and teenagers with serious illnesses.

They're free and the online order process is quick and easy.

Meanwhile, back at our ranch... Back-to-school has been hard on Quantell.

He's sleeping 11 hours a night, and resting another couple hours during the

day. On weekends, he'll sleep 16-20 hours at a stretch. And when he is

awake, he's low key. He's seeing the hepatologist every 2-4 weeks, and his

veins are shot from all the bloodwork.

But on a pure kid note, he's developed a fixation with " the cookies with

the words inside. " I can make his day by slipping a fortune cookie into his

lunch box.

Hope you're all well. Any Irish types -- there's a big Gaelic festival

nearby this weekend.
