  2. Thank you to my first donor! You know who you are. And so do I.
  3. The Village People run into trouble in River City when they try to con the town by pitching a boy's band.
  4. Hard to believe it's been five years since my sister was first diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. As many of you know, Diane succumbed to her illness in late August. She put up a hell of a fight. My family deeply appreciated the prayers you all offered, but I'm going to ask (again) for a little bit more. Five years ago, many of you gave, generously, when I participated in a fundraising Walk to Defeat ALS. I'm doing it again this year, and if you're in a position to give anything, I'd appreciate the support. There are two organizations that work hard to find a cure for ALS. One is Augie's Quest, which is primarily focused on finding a cure. The other is the one I'm supporting now: The ALS Association (of Florida, in my case). ALSA helps contribute to the search for a cure, but it also provides services to people living with the disease. Diane received help from the ALSA in Philadelphia (she lived in southern New Jersey), and they helped make her life comfortable and bearable in her final years. So I'm walking for the organization that provides a little more immediate help for the living. You would not believe what it costs to take care of someone with ALS. Every bit of support eases the burden on a family that is already suffering enough. I won't go into any more of a spiel than that. If you need it, let me know. I'm anything but taciturn. :) Click here to help. And thanks.

  8. A touching story about a troubled marriage between a rising talent in Hollywood and her husband, a fading talent who gets drafted into the Vietnam War, becomes paralyzed and ends up a major activist in the anti-war movement.

  12. Yes. Life Goes On was about a Down Syndrome teen and his family. Good show.
  13. Throughout history, whenever man has answered the call to persecute the Jews, identifying them was never a problem.
  14. A kid with Down Syndrome gets through high school and, years later, laments about how close he came to being a contender.
