Where I’ve been

I mui dislike the winter. My hands get cold and they shut down. This winter, I can barely type at all. Obviously, my inevitable descent has made blogging a chore. I’ve been sub-consciously prioritizing my computer-related tasks, and those that include typing have not been making the top of the list. In fact, about the [...]

A balancing act, literally

Some of the people that have, through the years, been charged with the task of being my care-giver, have not understood the underlying principle of how I work: my body is a complex system of weights and counterweights.

It shows what I think was our best practice to date (I missed last practice, shame on me). We learned a little strategy about positioning on the court. The previously mentioned [...]

How to cough like you mean it

I’m getting over an upper respitory infection. It was not the best timing, considering my meeting and future interview with Apple. I’ve had a rather hard time coughing up the secretions. Many of the parents who have commented on my previous posts will be familiar with this problem. Kids with SMA type 1 use several [...]
