I didn&#8217;t\u00a0 have a moment to sit down from 8AM until 11PM. My work day was back to back phone meetings.. most more interesting than average&#8230; My last meeting ended at 6.. then I had to leave to do a show at Champlain college for the Governor&#8217;s institute camp ofr media students. I ran into work, grabeed my gear then stopped by my firend Kim&#8217;s house.. Kim&#8217;s husband John was diagnosed with ALS in Janurary .. from that point he&#8217;s loast all mobility except fo rthe ability to move his left thumb. I&#8217;m goign to try and help John use the movement in his thumb to control his power bed.. and &#8230; hopefully.. his TV. I went over there to get an idea on how the bed controls work.. It was nice meeting John. I can&#8217;t imagine what that would be like to be trapped in your own body as you loose the ability to control your own muscles. John&#8217;s will is amazing .. I hope that I can figure out how to translate the mobilty he has into some degree of control for him&#8230;\u00a0 <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0 I left John and Kims to go to Champlain to do my show for the GiV campers.. It was a great time .. I love that program.. I got back just around midnight.. <br \/>\u00a0 Man I&#8217;m sleepy.. and tomorrows goign to be busy. too.. I&#8217;ll sign off here.. hipefully I can get today&#8217;s pictures uploaded tomorrow..\u00a0\u00a0 Right now, I&#8217;m headign to bed, Gnite everyone..
