I am eight feet tall, have 17 children, and I’m terrible at describing myself. I do have epilepsy and have had three brain surgeries; those are true things.

TV shows of my youth led me to believe that as an adult I would encounter, and need to escape from, much more quicksand.

I had the pleasure of attending the Phoenixville Film Festival last night for their opening night with my friends at Scrappy Cinema, and it was excellent! Terrific work by everyone involved!

What's everyone's favorite Avatar quote? Mine is: “People will come, Avatar. The one constant through all the years, Avatar, has been baseball. Pandora has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.”

In 2025, I lost my job AND my marriage, along with having somewhere around 20 seizures (thanks, brain). But here at the end of 2025, I have lined up an apartment for myself and have sorted out my health insurance situation. So in spite of everything, I couldn’t be more excited for 2026. ✌️

Today marks ten years since my very first seizure, at the age of 37. I had at least a few that day, and a decade later I’ve had a couple hundred more, plus three brain surgeries, dozens of MRIs, and countless hospital stays. BUT I’M STILL HERE, PEOPLE. 🥳✌️ #epilepsyawareness

Yesterday morning I had a seizure, 3 months to the day since my previous one. This one was around my 20th seizure of the year, and I’m very aware that many others with epilepsy have them much more frequently than I do. Nevertheless, this Thanksgiving weekend, I’m just grateful I’m still alive.
