Original Trek on DVD!
‘Trek’ on DVD: A logical choice.
Looks like a must have.
College Envy
Here I am at L & J’s house outside Annapolis, lying on the chaise with the borrowed Mac (very sweet of them - an added benefit is that I can check all my sites with Safari/IE5 - looking pretty good so far).
Eldest Son and I arrived in the wee hours on Tuesday, got a couple [...]
Or, Not
NBC doesn’t seem to have broadcast the wheelchair exhibition events. I don’t have cable or TiVo or anything clever; I taped or watched NBC Olympic coverage from 9:00 am MDT until 5:00 pm, then again from 6:00 pm until 11:00 pm. Aside from the somewhat interesting hour leading up to the women’s marathon, it seemed [...]
Paralympics on TV!
Just kidding.
NBC will broadcast the Olympic Exhibition Wheelchair Races tomorrow, at 10:00 am Eastern Time, but that’s all the US will see of the Paralympics or the Paralympians.
The Paralympics take place September 17th through 28th. Check out the BBC’s Disability Sport coverage, since you won’t see it in the US media.

Vibes for Dorothea
Feel better soon, Dorothea.
She lives!
I’m back after a week spent helping fix up mswheelchairamerica.org, trying to learn my part for Quilters and working too much, including another trip to Albuquerque. I have seriously got to find something interesting to do there, since it looks like I’m going to be there a bunch for the next year.
All flights, rental cars [...]
Disabled theater
I went to my first PHAMALy production Friday night.
PHAMALy is a Denver theater company in which all the actors are disabled. I had been vaguely aware of it for some years, but this spring I was actually invited to audition for their production of Guys and Dolls, and I seriously considered doing it for about [...]
