Thanks for your support, everyone! It's much appreciated.
fladogfan, yes, it's been keeping me busy! I'm trying to get most of this in place so I can concentrate on the race and simply post updates on their Facebook pages and Twitter accounts once it's started.
Something I wanted to add is that a few days before Michelle left the Yukon for Alaska for the Iditarod, one of her lead dogs was hit by a skidoo. She brought Hickory to Anchorage for surgery to mend his broken leg. Unfortunately, it's going to be very, very expensive and so I'm trying to help her and Ed raise funds toward Hickory's medical expenses. It's not clear yet if he'll be able to race again in top form, but the surgery isn't optional.
On the website I built for Ed and Michelle (Tagish Lake Kennel) on every page but the homepage there's a Donate button folks can click to donate funds via PayPal. Donations of any amount would be hugely appreciated. Here's the link to the sponsor page:

Let the race begin!!! (Is it Saturday yet?)
