About Me
- Enjoying the Ride
- Before my diagnosis I had a Chemical Engineering degree, an MBA, and a promising career. I had an amazing wife and two wonderful children (still do). I had a nice house with a swimming pool, a big lawn, and a bunch of toys. I was living the dream. I enjoyed a variety of physical activities such as golf, camping, hunting…operating the brake and gas pedals with my feet, typing, and standing in the shower. Then one day as I was jogging on my treadmill I noticed that my left foot went slap, slap, on the treadmill, whereas my right foot smoothly transitioned from heel to toe, heel to toe. After a year of visits to an assortment of specialists, I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, a particularly disabling variety of MS. Ten years later I sit here in my power wheelchair, dictating to my computer because my hands won’t allow me to type more than a couple of words. I can’t work anymore, and my wife now doubles as my caregiver. I’ve started this blog to help me pass the time while engaged in a productive activity- advocating for the disabled community, of which I am now a reluctant member. I am Mitch, and despite everything I am still Enjoying the Ride.

Mitch, I would love to have seen the video; however, at both sites, it read "this video is private." Any other way to view it?
Peace,
Muff
Muff, oops. Try it now.
Wow, I didn't expect that to be so funny. The TV thing drives me crazy. Your last sentence (or so) about Facebook had me laughing out loud, literally (no really, literally).
Mitch:
Well done, on your first video message. I'm sure that most people enjoyed it because your personality comes across so keenly, as well as your intellect!
Enjoy your day!

I just found your blog and I'm glad I did. Thanks for starting my day with a laugh! :-)
Matt,
I'm glad you thought it was funny. This represents only a small fraction of all the weird crap that runs through my head!
Barbara,
My intellect and personality notwithstanding, I was horrified when I watched the video footage and saw just how damned old I've become!
TamDe,
Welcome. Tell all your friends :-)
OK, OK. I won't talk to dead people on fb if you'll let me chew ice and slam cupboard doors!
James' favorite misuse EVER is irregardless!!! So....we say it all the time, and I have developed a realistic fear of using it in public. Ginny
Daphne,
Your comment has made me aware that there are probably hundreds, maybe thousands, of potential, yet unidentified, pet peeves out there for me. I think I would rather have you talk on Facebook to dead people than to chew ice or slam cupboard doors near me :-)
Ginny,
There are so many language faux pas to choose from (yes, I checked that I used the correct plural form of faux pas). I am pleased I'm not the only one who hates "irregardless."
Love it, Mitch. :)
Mitch, Didn't expect to, but loved your video blog. It was...so, Mitch. And so funny! Very refreshing.
