Advocacy, Access, and Movement for the Silenced.
Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the week. Not just because of that camel and that whole hump day thing, that was pretty funny. But it is also the day that Josh, the religious leader, stops by to spend time with me. Josh strikes me as the type of person who would come,…
Obviously, Father’s Day was celebrated this past weekend. Probably a lot of cookouts occurring everywhere. Good times had by all! I took the time to create a letter to my children, a letter that expressed the true sentiment of the day. Too often we get caught up in the gift-giving aspect of the day and…
This past weekend was busy. A few years ago, I was made aware of a sibling, that I didn’t know existed. About the time that my Mom and Dad divorced, my dad had a relationship with another young woman, that resulted in the birth of a young child named Deb. She was adopted and lived…
I often wonder what I am going to eat first when indeed I am able to eat “regular” food again. Will I eat a huge bowl of ice cream, smothered in caramel sauce, some of my wife’s stir fry, that I miss, and have often been tempted to partake in, even though it would pose…

We thought it would be good to include BLOG which allows me to answer questions people might have regarding my stroke and Locked-in syndrome. If you have questions you would like me to answer, you can post them on my blog and Celia will shoot them over to me! 1.) What is some advice you…
I have always fancied myself somewhat of a writer. From my taking a creative writing class in high school to my writing this BLOG, I picture myself as an Earnest Hemingway type, scribbling away on some deserted island. Don’t worry, that’s where my comparison comes to an end. But if I could tweak out an…
I find I do my best writing in the morning. After a good night’s sleep, when I am the most rested. But it is also the time when I make the most typos because I am the most groggy. My mind is racing with ideas, and my eyes can’t seem to keep up. It is…
