Kelly and I are celebrating two years in business with 4 Cats, Ink. We are blessed with the opportunity we have been given to make a difference by using our words to give people a voice. Everyone has a story, and ghostwriting books has been an exciting journey for us so far.

Case in point: we are so proud to collaborate with Kip Moore to bring you the book, Second Chance, about a brave young boy who successfully fought off a grave E. coli infection. It is a touching, emotional story of survival and parents overcoming fear and doubt. Please visit Kip's website (that we helped design) at www.SecondChanceStory.com.

Here is the tally so far:

• Two people
• Two Jeeps
• Four cats
• Five computers
• Eight books
• Two years following one dream

Thanks to all!

You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing.

You can make the best or the worst of it; I hope you make the best of it.

I hope you see things that startle you.

I hope you feel things that you have never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different point of view.

I hope you live a life you are proud of; and if you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

On this adventure, Eric and Kelly keep their record of only going to Denver's Elitch Gardens theme park during thunderstorms intact. This time, however, they got six rides in before the lightning and hail arrived. Luckily, they got drenched at Shipwreck Falls just before the skies opened up. This made them strangely indifferent to getting any more wet, and they calmly strolled to the Fudge Factory while all other patrons stampeded out the gates. They did not visit the photo booth, this time; it did not seem a safe place to be during a lightning storm.

Kelly was quick to point out to Eric that there was a tornado watch in the area once again. Eric countered that the Denver radar map was clear before leaving the house and that the weatherman predicted that showers would be so scattered that "most areas of Denver won't see a drop of rain."

At any rate, they learned several things on this trip: (1) You must depart the Shipwreck Falls unloading area quickly, or else, (2) the Fudge Factory still makes good fudge, and (3) hailstones sound really, really loud on the roof of a Jeep.

One of Elitch's tag lines reads: Not to try our fudge is not to see Elitch's. Eric and Kelly think this should read: Not to be electrocuted is not to see Elitch's, and stop using double negatives.
