I like to think of myself as one of DJS’s biggest, DORKIEST fans…..I have to control my enthusiasm some days–LOL….

I have a long, Irish face and so I don’t care for pictures of myself (most of the time.) Your partner looks beautiful here, Diane.

Thank you, Jen. Oh, I LOVE that pic of us—my partner is so hard to photograph, as those with asymmetrical faces are, and I think she must be in motion as dancers show their beauty (she danced for many years,) my shirt is Local 17 of International Federation of Technical and Profession workers union (I was a shop steward) AND our 17th anniversary)—the pool shot has generated comments among my Seattle peeps, “You play pool?” Well, I can, but have always lacked a table until now, when my inability to stand added to bad hand control make it a joke; BUT I have fun throwing the balls into the pockets, taking aim…IN! LOL We can do ANYTHING with MS, just differently than we might without MS.

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Diane was fun to interview, and the pool shot cracked me up when she sent it to me
