Olfashionation

Olfashionation

  During these hot summer days, I find myself reliving the time of my youth, growing up with my neighbors Mike and Tom in a small town.          I was a cute kid (with a big melon head). All grown up, I still have a melon head–but what the hell happened to the …

MS Mixed Bag

MS Mixed Bag

  What will you find in the My Odd Sock Mixed Bag? Who knows! Actually this mixed bag is a collection of various ideas I had about life with multiple sclerosis.  They are simply blinks of an idea—not enough meat to serve as a main entree–so I just lumped them together in a pot luck …

The Routine of MS

The Routine of MS

Frozen TV Dinners

  The TV dinner is a chow-time legend.  If it came in a foil tray–you knew it had to be good! That picture on the box would taunt your mind and your taste buds…luring you into a TV dinner’s frozen deliciousness.   My favorite?…Beans & weanies without a doubt!  The sides were also to die …

Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing

   How does multiple sclerosis relate to a play by Bill Shakespeare? Well, it doesn’t really—apart from the title.   From what I understand, the play is about love, cat-fighting & nit-picking (Kinda like a medieval episode of “Jersey Shore.”  ‘Does thou maiden Snooki love Benedick more than thee?’).   “Much ado about nothing” was …

Junk Drawer

Junk Drawer

    Everyone has a junk drawer.  A drawer where you stash stuff that doesn’t have a proper home. The go-to drawer when you are looking for something that can’t be found anywhere else. THAT’S the junk drawer.   My Odd Sock is no exception.  I have a “drawer’ of oddball, silly stuff that must …

My ride at the aMuSement park.

My ride at the aMuSement park.

  “Enjoy your day at Cedar Point,” said the cheery ticket taker. I planned to!  It had been over 20 years since my last visit, so today I was going to be a thrill seeker maniac!     Just past the opening gate was my first coaster challenge…the Raptor.  Sounds nice, I thought.  Named for …
