Johnny Carson will forever be my comedy idol. Delivery so smooth. Wit razor sharp. Often he was at his funniest when the joke was a dud (which was a rarity). As a kid I struggled to stay up (with permission) to watch him non-school nights. As an adult I struggled to stay up because, …
I may get somewhat preachy here–so beware. Every single one of us looks for the magic pill…the infusion-palooza…the divine answer to slaying the MS monster. We know a cure doesn’t exist yet we search anyway. (No harm in looking, right?) Because MS has a mind all its own, best you can do is …

(My copy was somehow lost in …
In sports betting the “over/under” is a popular wager. Mind you, I am not a gambler but over/under is so easy to explain even I understand. For example if a predicted score has been set at “10” the bettors can wager if the actual score will be higher or lower than that number. And …
“I have changed. I am a different person now than before I was diagnosed. My personality has changed. The old me is coming back. Slowly, but. That’s part of the reason my wife and I are getting a divorce.” “How long have you been married?” she asked. “Thirty years. We are high school …
Time once again to curl up and read a classic novel with an MS plot. The MS Bookmobile has returned! Chocked full of new titles about your favorite chronic disease. Check out these great reads….. “Mobility Dick” by Herman Melville “Fire And Fury: The Feeling in my Body” by Michael Wolff “MS …
Happy 2019 to you! What would be the lamest idea for the first post of the new year? Resolutions, of course. Honestly I don’t make new years resolutions. And neither should you. Here’s why. Resolutions are a waste of time & energy because they are rarely achieved and meant to be broken. …
