Weekend Roundup….and a Preview of Things to Come!

I know it’s Tuesday so technically this post should be yesterday – but I’ve been out of town.  Yesterday I was at the doctor.  MS needs constant maintenance, oy vey, very constant maintenance.  I’m lucky that my doctor is amazing, he listens, and he isn’t even kind of surprised by what I tell him.  It is a huge plus that…

Party Like It’s 1995!

I hope y’all had a great weekend.  Mine started slowly as I was sick Friday and ate only chicken soup until Saturday morning.  My high school reunion was Saturday night so I needed to feel better in a hurry.  Sometimes with MS, I feel like I’m always tired and catching up.  I digress.  Anyway, the reunion was stellar thanks to my friend…

Happy Father’s Day!

This weekend is Father’s Day.  I think dads are pretty important people.   Just for fun I googled “the role of father’s in child development.”  I found that organizations fund years of studies on this point.  I also found it crazy to waste money on something that is basic common sense (but that’s another column).  Anyway, in the US Department of…
