The Picetti clan, minus Fehmeen (who was teaching) and plus Julian (who is our caregiver and BoostMaster), took a field trip up to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco this morning. Earlier this summer we saw a commercial advertising the lizards and snakes exhibit there and we knew immediately that it would be [...]

Many thanks to my cousin Nicole Hamilton for taking these amazing photographs. There are absolutely beautiful. Quit your day job now, kid*, because you’re going places. *I am twenty days older than her.

Emma has a serious case of Dance Fever! Major props to Dan for converting my old tapes into mp3s.
Setting the Record Straight

It has come to my attention that one very special and important member of our Adventures of ALS Boy blog-reading family is wondering how fiscally feasible it is for me to continually provide such lavish and extravagant prize packages to the winners of the caption contest week after week. Well, NNN*, while I’m (legally) unable [...]
Hangin’ with the Fam

It was quite a scene in our living room last night. Imagine me fully reclined in my Corinthian leather comfy chair, covered from neck to sandals with an exquisite orange Giants snuggie, Bi-PAP strapped to my head, pumping life-extending air into my mouth and nose. To top it off, I am also listening to Steve [...]

Just Another Manic Monday

In a hectic day that included a house full of painters, a Picetti shipping off for a hopefully not-so-extended hospital stay, and a hallway landmine incident, who da thunk that yours truly would have escaped the fray completely unscathed. It started at about nine when the painters showed up. The Italian-American Man-Servant was in full-on [...]
Sweet Distraction

We could tell by the way he rang the doorbell that things weren’t going to go according to plan. The moment he said, “What exactly am I here to do today?” I could actually feel Fehmeen’s blood beginning to bubble and froth from a room away even before I saw the are-you-kidding-me look in her [...]
Celebrating the Fifth of July

When was the last time the Fourth of July meant something more than a convenient excuse to eat barbecue, drink beer, and watch the same old fireworks extravaganza? When was the last time you lifted your hops-filled stein of amber tinted nectar and toasted to the grandiose concept of freedom? When was the last time [...]
Road Trippin’ to Wally World

You know you’re driving down I-5 to Disneyland when: You can smell the grazing cows of Harris Ranch about a mile before you see them. You make a mental note to look into who exactly is responsible for all of those Congress Created Dust Bowl signs. If there are any more cities beside Los Angeles [...]
