This week’s blog is going to be short and sweet. I had some irritation with my feeding tube this morning, so I have to lean back in my chair to keep pressure off of it. Of course, typing while reclined isn’t easy, so I got up just to give you some good news. I will…

Herb Brooks said, “Great moments are born from great opportunity.” These special moments are what make life worth living even though sometimes living can be pretty tough. On July 22nd I will have another opportunity for a great moment as my wheelchair hockey team will get to play a game in the PNC Arena, the…

Recently, I attended my first Comic Book Convention in Charlotte. I have always lived in North Carolina, but I have never really experienced Charlotte. I heard that it was huge and stressful making me think it was like Minneapolis, Philadelphia, or Toronto, which I have experienced through my hockey travels. So I was prepared for…

There are lawsuits out now against Morgan Stanley (a lead underwriter handling the IPO) and Facebook because they lowered earnings expectations without telling the world. Facebook filed the paperwork, which…

As of tomorrow, we can all buy a portion of the great Facebook! It will trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol FB. I will talk about stocks from time to time here, but please remember that you shouldn’t invest without having an understanding of your risk tolerance, talking to a financial advisor or at…

There has been a lot of discussion in NC this week about “Amendment One,” which would make marriage between a man and a woman the “only legal domestic union recognized by the state of North Carolina.” The Amendment passed, which has led to many hateful statements for and against the new law.
