For laughs, first, check out this recent skit from SNL. It is SPOT on, if you’ve been paying attention to the popular media lately. As I wrote earlier this month, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that my identity as a man who has paralysis living with him is much stronger than my identity as …

THANK YOU!
This post is a simple and quick, but heartfelt, thank you to the nurse and tech staff of Unit 3C at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. This is the place that I’ve unexpectedly called home for the past month – more on that later – and I couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you all! After getting …
Hoda is Fireside!
I’m excited that I got off of the wait list for this event later this week! Should be interesting! It’s sponsored the college I was in (College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences), as well as the college I like to act like I’m a part of (Pamplin College of Business). :) As one of the …

Veteran’s Day.
I wanted to take a moment to write about the fact that today is Veteran’s Day here in the states. Veteran’s Day is always observed on November 11th – one of few U.S. holidays to be observed on such a particular date as opposed to the “the third Thursday” or the “second Tuesday” of a month. …
Leaving a legacy.
When I was accepted to be a student at my alma mater in the winter of 2007, I was the least bit concerned with “leaving a legacy.” I was more concerned with getting out of high school scott-free and being able to have a good time, away, at college, while also earning a degree. I …
To the Virginia Tech Class of 2019.
You know those moments in life where you really feel like you’re making an impact on people? A moment when things that you do – and some of them might be totally normal, day-to-day things for you – gets some kind of recognition? Well, one of those definitely happened to me today. Late last night, I …
