"Cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or be disappointed in us. Cynics always say no ... for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.“
(Stephen Colbert, 2006- Knox College Commencement)
This can be you- honest!
Outside: Enjoying family on the deck during the short northern NH summer! Mosquitoes and blackflies are the worst as I can't scratch or swat them. Bug spray and sun screen are constant companions. Or celebrating my birthday with grandkids. I've celebrated six b-days with ALS- and counting!
Attending one of our grandchildren's school activities.
Yup that's me, out-and-about, using head-mouse technology (see the silver ball on vmax+). Just move, hover cursor over a word or phrase and talk. Cool voice choices too. I can type a phrase and speak it too.
I made this whole website using only my vmax+ and head-mouse technology.
The pads around my head allow me to fully operate my chair. Just touch and go. Better than staying at home huh!
A good look at my life using a full-time vent and feeding tube. You know, a mind, full of ideas and experiences to pass on, is a terrible thing to waste. Especially given today's technologies!
Me and my girls enjoying the outdoors!
Favorite outside activity: racing my granddaughter, as she rides her tricycle in the driveway. Somehow, she always seems to win!
