Cold Sunday Afternoon

Hello, Hello, Hello......
Well, like I said...it is cold..not cold, cold but for this time of year, it's cold. Unseasonably cold. My legs don't like it. Seriously, this weather has been bringing on some leg aches. It's been rainy and overcast also...what a crappy fall so far. No Indian summer at all.

Well, I've been keeping busy....I've been working with a guy that I met online that lives in Youngstown. He also has TM. Back in 2001 he started a website and a non profit organization that he uses to try and generate funds to channel to Dr. Kerr at Johns Hopkins hospital who is the head of the TM research program there. The guy I'm working with goes by the name of Gunny because he is a former Marine. Gunny is Dr. Kerr's cousin.
The website and the organization unfortunately never for into full swing but when Gunny and I got together we realized that the potential is there and we are going at things full bore now. We are running into some problems with the lady that was running the website though. She apparently got tired of running it and never made any changes that needed to be made and is now passing it off to some other company to run it. So, we're in limbo waiting to hear from these guys because we need some changes made. We want so bad just to take over the site ourselves and probably will as soon as we can get some things settled.
Anyway...the organization is the International Disability Coalition. The website is
http://www.disabilitycoalition.org/
and I will be the new Vice President as soon as we can get the changes to the site made.

I've also been playing around with making some business cards for my canes. I think I finally got something together that I like...
Take a look....


The last thing....I just started working with a woman online...she had an idea for a business. She has TM also. Her idea is to create an information website that covers virtually everything. Q & A, Medical advice from professionals, message boards etc...and then the site would exist on sold advertising.
She wants to launch on January 1 2010. Currently we are bringing on people to run the site, medical pro's, managers, etc...and initially we are all going to be volunteers but as things start rolling and we get the advertising going then we will be getting compensation. Now, her thoughts are that for those of us that are receiving SS or disability and don't want to mess that up, then the compensation will come in the form of gift cards. Sounds like a pretty smart plan to me.

So...that's about it for now.....except for a little music...
Something from a band called Moonalice.
A gathering of musicians the likes of G.E. Smith from the Saturday Night Live band fame.
Pete Sears from Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna
John Molo from Bruce Hornsby and the Range and Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna.
These guys have put together an interesting little band...


Till next time......
