Had the pleasure to see his Lt. Dan Band play a twilight gig for thousands of veterans yesterday. Famous for "CSI New York" and Lt. Dan in "Forrest Gump," Sinise was caregiver for both his wife and son going through cancer at the same time. Mac Sinise passed away in 2024 at 33 years old.

Gary Sinise reads Romans 5:3-5. www.youtube.com/shorts/YCbL-WlOM9M

Mark's Walking Wheelchair: Inventor Jake Laser mounted a wheelchair on a walking robot for his father, engineering prof. and former marathoner Mark Laser. At first I smelled BS, but take a look — it's amazing!

When new to MS, I went heavy on meds to fight urgency & stay working, but no info about Kegels, etc. Eventually turned my bladder to a Triscuit & went to ER with +103° temp. Checked out a month later, permanently in a scooter. Wish I'd known more about pelvic floor exercise, etc.

in my mobility scooter, just gawking and gawking... That was 30 years ago! But this morning I could see him clear as day, like it was yesterday.

I was a grown man and he was a kid, and I paid him no heed. And I swear I have not thought of him at all over the years. Yet he popped up this morning. Is that freaking crazy?!

I know I've tried consoling or empowering friends who have been hurt by others' ableism, by urging that we not to let the ugly folks, the know-nothings, have power over us.

But *that's* what ableism does.
