There are a number of ways you can get involved. You can host the team as we pass through your town, or join us on one of three city-wide rides we will host in Dallas, Nashville and in Washington. You can also donate to sponsor me or any other rider by visiting www.ridewelltour.org. All of the proceeds will benefit my friends at Blood:Water Mission, a not-for profit begun by the band Jars of Clay that has already drilled many wells and has the ambition of drilling one-thousand in total.

If you would like to post a video that explains the ride on your blog, it would be a great help in raising awareness. You can find all the code you need to do so, as well as some banners you might be able to use at this link:

Jordan has become one of my closest friends, and I've watched him evolve from struggling writer to successful contributor to my own work as well as the faithful and consistent editor at www.burnsidewriterscollective.com, a magazine he designed and manages that has a substantial cult following. We had a great week of writing the week before the wedding, and it amazed me how calm Jordan was. Several guys came in from out of town to work on a writing project and stay over for the wedding, so the wedding itself along with the reception that followed was a great celebration of both Jordan and Mindy's love and the hard work he'd been doing for the last few years. I won't lie, it's been lonely around here without Jordan. I didn't realize I'd miss you this much, buddy.

Jordan and Mindy are moving to Phoenix where Mindy will do Residency at a hospital there. It will be a long three years. Jordan and Mindy, the very best to you. For those of you who couldn't make it up for the wedding, here is what happens when you pass a video camera around to a group of people who, perhaps, have had a few glasses of wine:

We love you Mr. and Mrs. Green.

The music is Hey Ya, covered by Obadiah Parker. You can find it on I-Tunes.
