A couple of nights ago Aaron and I went to BJs to do some shopping. Big Saturday night out! On the way home, he seemed to have taken a detour. Being geographically challenged, I didn't really notice that we weren't going in a direction that would lead us to our house. Soon enough we were… Continue reading Super Nifty…Look Who’s 50!
On September 18th we hosted our RISE AGAINST ALS Decades Dance Party for ALS ONE at the Middleboro Elks. It was a wonderful night full of music and dancing and so many laughs! Over 120 people came together for an amazing cause and we raised more than $11,000 to support ALS ONE's mission! The best… Continue reading Oh What a Night! RISE AGAINST ALS Decades Dance Party for ALS ONE
Ghosts That We Knew When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. It’s a great little saying, and for the most part I try to abide by it. I believe the premise, certainly. I think we should try to find joy when and where we can. Life can be difficult, and while we can’t control a… Continue reading Life Throws Lemons…
My cousins came down from Maine for 5 days last week and we made the most of every moment. Of course, with Mike here the band commandeered the garage and had multiple days of band practice. They put on quite a show for the neighbors, and fortunately all the feedback we got was positive and… Continue reading Mini Concert Weekend
I’m going to see Air Supply! This is a bucket list item for me (#26 to be exact!), so imagine my excitement when I found out they are playing at the Cape Cod Melody Tent on August 8. A casual mention of their upcoming show elicited equal excitement from my friend Deb, and so I… Continue reading Air Supply: Bucket List Item #26
Last summer, Aaron and our friends Bender and Eric started messing around playing some music together, and before we knew it they formed a band. We and the Benders would switch off hosting duties each weekend and we'd spend our days lounging by our respective pools for a few hours before the guys would disappear… Continue reading Worth the Wait!
I got my power wheelchair just about the time the pandemic hit last year. Since I hadn't been out in public a whole lot over the last 14 months or so, I hadn't really used the chair much outside the comfort and familiarity of my neighborhood. Last night I ventured out into the actual world… Continue reading A Night Out, A Band, and Wine, Oh My!
It was so great to get down to Marshfield yesterday for ALS One's annual polar plunge! After more than a year of lockdown and COVID restrictions and isolation, people were so ready for this. It was freeeeezing cold, but so awesome to see everyone and cheer on those who braved the frigid waters of the… Continue reading ALS One Polar Plunge 2021
I turned 49(!) yesterday. For my birthday last year, my friends and I went to see a kick-ass band at a local casino. We had an amazing time, but we were woefully unaware that just one week later the world would shut down. We had no idea that we wouldn't get to gather again as… Continue reading Anniversary of My Existence
The pandemic has been looming over us since March. The end of spring and start of summer were very restricted and we couldn't do much of anything beyond our houses and neighborhoods. Though I will say that my neighborhood is the best, and we rocked the socially distanced driveway fire pits for months, which at… Continue reading Cousin Time
