Sometimes it’s easy to take people for granted, especially people in your life you don’t see every day. I know I’m guilty of this as much or more than anyone. That’s why I was happily reminded this weekend just how great the people in my life are not only to me. but to others and [...]

My friend John Young, who is a Little Person superhuman triathlete, is in a Facebook contest for a free entry to the 2012 NYC Triathlon. The voting closes today at 5 PM, and he’s trailing another entry by about 40 votes for first place. All you have to do is “Like” this photo in the [...]

Yesterday was one of those perfect days when everything just goes exactly as it should, and there are even some good surprises along the way that remind you that the bad day the day before is nothing more than a blip on the radar. My work life has been a little slow lately; the company [...]

Our plumber a nice guy named Steve, who was kind enough to come over last night and install our toilet on short notice, told me the toilet breaking had very little to do with my weight. It was balancing on the rough in, and was not level with the floor, so each time someone got [...]
