Lots of book activity lately. Audiobook Version Within a week or so I should have the audiobook, which I narrate myself, available for sale. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

Vote!
I have strong political opinions, which I choose not to share here, so that this remains a welcome space for conservatives, independents, liberals, libertarians, librarians, Liberians, and everyone else. My “get out the vote” message is nonpartisan. No matter whether you believe we have too many immigrants or too few immigrants, taxes are too high… Continue reading Vote!
Endless Possibilities
I’m not one to spout clichés and platitudes. I’ve railed against “everything happens for a reason.” Don’t get me started on “time heals all wounds,” for obvious reasons. But the one I choose to highlight today is “there’s nothing you can’t accomplish if you just set your mind to it.” A greater line of bullshit… Continue reading Endless Possibilities
If I Had Known Then What I Know Now
If I had known when I was, say, 18, that I would be diagnosed with MS, and that I would be in a wheelchair, and that I would become a quadriplegic, what would I have done differently?

When we arrived at Gillette Stadium, I… Continue reading From the Cutting Room Floor #1

I Live in Portland, Maine, and You Don’t
Okay, maybe you also live in Portland. How am I supposed to know? Okay, technically I live in South Portland. Close enough. Try to stay focused. I’m making a point here. Over the holiday weekend, I was reminded how lucky I am to live where I do. A few weeks ago, I blogged about a… Continue reading I Live in Portland, Maine, and You Don’t
I am Humbled — Twice
I don’t like to throw parties, because I’m afraid nobody will come, and if they do come, they will regret having done so. It was therefore with great trepidation that I scheduled not one, but two book launch parties earlier this month. Worst of all, for an introvert like me, I would be the center… Continue reading I am Humbled — Twice
