I feel burned out. Burned out in terms of multiple sclerosis, that is. And I don’t mean being dog-tired of the bummer symptoms. We’re all in that way! I’m referring to the notion that maybe my MS has run its nasty course. The deed is done. The worst is over so to speak. The …
Books have been an escape my entire life. A way to dream. To plan. To learn new things. As a kid I spent hours in the library, exploring endless topics including my favorite animals, sports heroes, even careers. Today I am much the same–I could get lost in a library. So many subjects. Books of …
Artificial intelligence, A.I., is here. It is all around us, spreading faster than a world-wide virus in the 2020s. Machines, especially computer systems, are being programmed to simulate human intelligence processes…to mimic our speech, our thoughts, our writing, even our emotions. Innovative? Yes. Daunting? You bet. Snacks? No thanks, I just ate. With an …
A logo is the life blood of an entity. An instant identifier to the audience of who and what. It must set you apart from the rest. And become as recognizable as letters on an eye chart. Correct me if I am wrong but who doesn’t know the Nike swoosh or McDonald’s golden arches? …
There is nothing better than a good back scratch. Dig in with the right touch and I’ll sit there like a dozy Labrador (tongue hangs out just the same). But with me it doesn’t stop there. My back. Neck. Scalp. Hands. Shins. Chest. Armpits. Head, shoulders, knees & toes. Knees & toes. With …

That and my belief in you can only wear one pair at a time–so why own so many? Imelda Marcos, former first lady of the Philipines, …
When you have had multiple sclerosis a while the usual MS talking points get somewhat boring. Humdrum. Same-ol, same-ol. They need jazzed-up a bit to keep my (and maybe your) interest. Welcome to “Tired Wired,” where we take an old “tired” MS topic and give it a new “wired” spin. Here we go… …
Is this it? What’s left? Anything else? Is that all? What now? These are just some of the questions you may find yourself asking when (or if) multiple sclerosis takes you away from something you love. Your job. Your favorite activity. Hobby. Passion. Whatever. It happens. And it sucks. You feel defeated. Like …
Since its humble beginning WAY back in 2009, this silly blog has shared my thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams & humor (the last one often debated). But enough about ME! Time to learn about YOU! Thus, presenting the “My Odd Sock Reader Profile.” This short survey will chart your likes, dislikes & preferences which will …
It’s irritating. Overused. And has no relevant meaning. I cringe when reading it. Shudder, when I hear it. Is it meant to brag? A proud boast, maybe? Whatever its purpose, I think it’s a load of crap. What am I talking about? I’m referring to the nonsensical mantra used by some fellow MSers… Really? …
