Don’t Pet the Crip: She Bites

Aaron and I went out with friends last night to see an 80s band at a great place in Marshfield called Station Eight. We’d discovered this bar for the first time after a group of us from ALS One went there after the Tucker Toss. I loved it instantly because it was incredibly accessible and… Continue reading Don’t Pet the Crip: She Bites

Last night was amazing! Aaron, Bender, Deb, and I headed to the Cape for dinner and then onto the Cape Cod Melody Tent for the Air Supply concert.

A Night Out, A Band, and Wine, Oh My!

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!
