I saw my best friend alive for the last time 1 month ago yesterday. By 10:00 the next morning, she was gone, and our lives would be turned upside down even more so than they had been just 15 days before when we’d lost another close friend, Vicky, to metastatic breast cancer. Our friend group… Continue reading Everything Everywhere All at Once
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
We had our third annual Rise Against ALS Decades Dance Party fundraiser on October 1st at the Middleboro Elks, and it was awesome! With over 100 people in attendance, we raised nearly $14,000 to support ALS ONE's mission. A huge thank you to all who came out and/or donated. A couple of weeks later we… Continue reading Rise Against ALS Decades Dance Fundraiser
I'm really terrible at making time to post here. It's one of the many things I'm working on. It's been a hot minute since my last post, and that one was a bit, um, melancholy. I realized upon reflection that I was spiraling just a tad, and that it was time for a hard reset.… Continue reading Hard Reset
Pictures are worth a thousand words. These capture perfectly the determination and strength of everyone in the ALS ONE community.
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!

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
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. After the anguish of the previous week, I was sincerely doubting my ability to enjoy a concert, even one that I had looked forward to for so… Continue reading Lost in Love
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…
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!
