The Ride Ahead is an excellent movie about Samuel Habib’s life. He is a young man with cerebral palsy and who uses a speech device to communicate. It’s streaming at no cost on Cascade PBS. Go watch it! The stories of people like me with speech impairments need to be told. www.rideaheadfilm.com

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!

I had a good time at the cabin this week. I love being out in nature.
