Early this morning, my youngest son decided to bring his kickball to school. Here in New Hampshire, autumn is in all its glory. Our entire yard is yellow, orange, red and brown with the oak leaves remaining green (fun fact: they are last to turn). He put on his shoes and went out the front … Continue reading IN

EPISODE V: THE BOB STRIKES BACK
When we last saw our hero, he was pulling me out of the front seat of a taxi in Chicago. Well, not literally....that actually happened more than two decades ago, but the real news today is that Bob himself slid into my DMs (as the kids say) to set a few things straight and to … Continue reading EPISODE V: THE BOB STRIKES BACK
AUGUST 20, 1994
"If you weren't wearing your seatbelt, you would have died today." Those words were spoken to me by a police state trooper while I was sitting up on a stretcher at Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New Hampshire. "That was a good piece of driving you did too. If you hadn't swerved right, the woman … Continue reading AUGUST 20, 1994
FOR MY LOVE OF THE GAME
I will never forget the feeling of walking up the concrete ramp and seeing Fenway Park in Boston for the first time. I was 9 years old in the summer of 1982 and my father had procured 2 tickets to see the Boston Red Sox baseball team play the Kansas City Royals. Our town's recreation … Continue reading FOR MY LOVE OF THE GAME

PACK IT IN
I got bit by the travel bug shortly after college. A friend and I took a random trip to Atlanta to visit a girl that I went to high school with who was working for CNN at the time. This was in 1996 shortly after the Olympic Games had been held in the city. We … Continue reading PACK IT IN

PROGRESS?
In July of 2025, the Americans With Disabilities Act turned 35 years old and there were a bunch of posts all over the place celebrating this landmark legislation that made it possible for wheelchair users like me to have ramps so I can get into buildings that have heavy doors that I can't open, and … Continue reading PROGRESS?
ESCAPE TO NEW YORK
Many things can change in seven days time. I do well at escaping when I feel that I really need to and earlier this week was no exception that a little deception couldn't help my mood. What I mean to say is that Vanessa and I took the kids on a little adventure to Manhattan … Continue reading ESCAPE TO NEW YORK
