What Is It Like To Have Cerebral Palsy?
1. People use to ask if I had cerebral palsy, now they ask if I have Parkinson's disease.
2. I can either go for a walk or carry on a conversation, but I can't do both at the same time.
3. Along the same line, I can either take a walk with my wife or hold her hand. I can't do both.
4. I don't eat Jello.
5. I don't eat peas without also eating mashed potatoes.
6. I don't eat Whoppers. For me, that would take way more than two hands.
7. I never stand up to go to the bathroom unless I'm wearing shoes.
8. It's easy to fake a fall when there's a pretty girl around. (Disclaimer: I haven't done this one since being married.)
That to me is a really weird question to ask. I like your response about "What's it like being a blond?" I also don't eat whoppers, they are huge, I never finish them. I really like the last entry, although I wouldn't try that either being married. :)

Thanks for writing about this. There's a lot of solid tech information on the internet. You've got a lot of that info here on your website. I'm impressed - I try to keep a couple blogs somewhat on-going, but it's a struggle sometimes. You've done a big job with this one. How do you do it?
