Up & Down

Up & Down

  Up & down.  Up & down.  One must be describing the New York Stock Exchange, right?  (No, that would be mostly down.)  How about a public opinion poll?  Or maybe gas prices?  (No, that would be mostly up!)   Specifically, what I am trying to explain is my activity level. You see, I can’t …

Got It?

    It was a brief exchange of words.  Six to be exact. Her two…”Got it?” And my wordy response of four…”Yeah, I got it.” What a scary man!     Sure, there were fewer words spoken during the Kardashian nuptial, but these six words have been bouncing around inside my empty head longer than …

The New F-Word

The New F-Word

MS Mind Games

MS Mind Games

    Multiple Sclerosis has taken a lot from you. Maybe it’s your balance…ability to walk…your vision …or bladder control.  Or maybe you are one of the lucky few where MS has taken all of the above!  (Too bad you weren’t that lucky with a lottery ticket!)   Swallowing some pride, many of these problems …
