I have debated whether or not to say anything since I heard Rush Limbaugh passed a few hours ago. As I write this I’m still debating. I feel like I have to say something because I love radio. If I’m real honest, Rush was probably the first radio voice I ever heard. The reason for…
I haven’t left my house in 4 weeks. I haven’t even put on a pair of jeans in 4 weeks. Having Cerebral Palsy means I’m at higher risk of getting sick, but to be honest, staying in is not about staying well for me. I don’t fear sickness. I’m trying to do everything I can…
I’m supposed to speak to a small group of city workers in a town near me tomorrow night. I’m not nervous about who will be there. I’m not nervous about the size of the crowd, I’ve spoken too much larger groups. I’m afraid that I simply won’t be funny. I saw a TV show several years…
Hi everybody I am super excited to announce that my book is finally available. It’s Called From a seated perspective. Is available RIGHT HERE. This has been a long time coming. Some of you have literally been waiting YEARS and I think the wait will have been worth it. After you buy a copy: do…
Like everybody else, I have to shave. I’ve tried to wear a beard because well, it would just be easier. I always make it a few weeks and the itching starts to drive me more than a little insane. Most days I shave using an electric razor with Jane’s help. About once a week…

It’s never fun to have a car break down, especially while you’re on vacation. That happened to me a few years ago. Doesn’t matter where you are, you can probably find some place to get your car worked on. That’s the major benefit of having a Walmart every 5 miles across the United States. If…
Evie does a fantastic job capturing my life in comics. This one may be my favorite of all of them because it is absolutely true. Most handicapped parking spaces are easily large enough to accommodate a lift that either unfolds out of the side door, or comes from underneath the side door as mine does….
I’ve picked up another job recently. On my first day, I came in and they knew exactly where they wanted me to sit. I rolled up to the desk and proceeded to bang my knee on it. FYI tables and desks in public places are rarely just the right height for people in wheelchairs to…
My handwriting has never been good. I can put most doctors to shame. It makes sense if you think about it. I have a hard time holding a pen pencil, obviously using them well is asking a lot, I don’t write much in everyday life.Most of my work Is done using a computer so it doesn’t…
