I watch a lot of movies. I see so many films you might think I don’t have anything better to do with my time. Umm, guilty as charged. I do have a terminal illness that limits my mobility and all. The plan I have for this post — and subsequent ones just like it — [...]

The Toddling Gourmet

Dear Diary, Tonight was the greatest night of my life. Mommy and Daddy actually let me cook and it was so so so so so so so so COOL! There I was sitting on the bench next to Daddy, watching Mommy mix-up a batch of egg salad, when I heard Daddy grunting. He was looking [...]
When Good Nights Go Bad

Warning: Due to the graphic nature of this post, reader discretion is advised. The small reunion of friends and former teaching colleagues at the waterfront Chevys was by all accounts a fabulous time. Throughout the course of the evening, spirits were swilled and entrees were consumed. Even the Adventurous ALS Boy managed to make it [...]
My Flash Mob Fantasy
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Bad Behavior on June 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have wanted to participate in a flash mob since before they got popular. Those elaborately choreographed song and dance productions are cool and all but when I conjure up a mental picture of a flash mob in my mind I see three or four dozen people suddenly converging on a park for a spontaneous [...]
From the Mouths of Babes
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Ask the Audience, Emma on June 20, 2010 | 6 Comments »
“Where did my book go, Mommy?” asked Emma in the sweetest and most innocent manner conceivable. “What do you mean, Baba?” was Fehmeen’s response. Those two questions floated around the crowded bathroom for about twenty seconds until the answer presented itself in the form of an ‘unopenable’ door. Allow me to elaborate. When the Picettis [...]
The Set on This Guy
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Life on June 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Driving home from an appointment with Dr Ken a few months back, my eyes were drawn to a most peculiar sight. I had only ever heard about the existence of this item as a result of a particularly slow news cycle one day several decades ago. If my recollection is accurate, not only were these [...]
Scratch That Itch

If I was asked to compile a list of the most frustrating aspects about having ALS, you might think that not being able to walk or talk or eat by myself or even stand up when I pee would all be vying for the top spot. You can bet your arse that each of those [...]
Missing My Friend Carla
Posted in In Memoriam on June 15, 2010 | 5 Comments »
The first time I ever heard of Carla was back when I had just started writing my blog in August 2008. My friend — and frequent commenter — Traci told me about this other recently diagnosed ALS patient who had this amazing blog that she thought I would enjoy and relate to. Well , Tra [...]

The New Gold Standard in Must-See TV

“How you doin?” If that phrase is unfamiliar to you — and I’m not talking with a Joey Tribiani from Friends accent — then perhaps you need to start watching The Wendy Williams Show on BET. If you’ve seen it, you already know what I am talking about. If you are living in a Wendy-less [...]
