Power Please

Jon, "Fence man on Wheels" is how I want people to remember my name. I have been in a power wheelchair for 15 years and still run my own business. Funny thing is my chair sometime breaks down which it did 5 weeks ago. I realized over again how much I depend on technology to run my life and my business.

It took 5 weeks to get the parts to fix my chair. I sure hope no customer of mine ever has to wait that long to get a part from SummitFenceSupply.com. The taste that it left in my mouth about the company in which I paid thousands of dollars to get this chair makes me certain that no customer of mine will ever have to wait more than a week for a part.

Fortunately, I have lap tops and mini computer to stay connected with the world of the Internet and so I do not miss a beat when it comes to running www.summitfencesupply.com

So this is Jon, “Your Fence man on Wheel” (and now power…) saying thank you Lord that the parts came in and independence is restored. I even went to Starbucks and had my mocha fix.

First Pitch Then Play Ball

How many people get to throw out the first pitch of the year at a professional baseball statium. My son did this last week. He is my star and has always been.

Tim, is my 26 year old only son who said, Dad I entered a contest to be the first to use the new Fan Cave at Progressive Park in Cleveland. Well have fun I said and I hope you do well. He had to compete against people in a WII game and see if he could make it to the finals. He call me after the first night and said he didn't think he did that well but it turned out a few days later he was invited for the finals.

I told him I would go with him for the finals but his text message said, "He would be too nervous." I certainly understood that and said, "Have Fun!" A few hours later he called and said he had won the contest and take Monday off to go the ball game.



We had a great time! He throw a ball over the plate or real close from the pitchers mound and got to see Rockin Robert up close.

I love my son and am proud of him always. He truly is my son, my son... My only son... I love you my boy.

She Looks So Good

What a mom I have. 83 years old and still going strong.

I like to say I would be nothing without her. All the hours we spent in hospitals, Dr's offices, Therapy at home at home or elsewhere. She was and is a star of hope to me and many others. Love you mom!!!

Ohhhhh CRAP!

The paramedics down the street know my house very well. They have been here more than once to either pick me up off the floor when I do a nose dive out of my chair or some other extra curricular activity I get myself into.

The last time they had a bet between them as to which room they would find me. One of them said the bathroom and because he lost he had to buy ice cream for the rest of the squad. Our friend Kym was over the last time they stopped for a “visit”. She said… “Wow! Make sure you do a header the next time I am here. They were cute!”

My son says, “I wish I had a video camera hooked up to you when you do your stunts. (Don’t do those stunts at home they are to be done by professionals.) “He is sure we could win Funniest Home Videos if caught on Camera.”

Now, someone has come out with a shirt, sweatshirt and bag that sums up how I feel as I am flying through the air. You know the moments when your life passes before your eyes before you meet an unmovable object.

The Battle of the Blubber Begins

Lucky Shoes is not my favorite store tonight. Maybe in six or seven months it will be however today, what I saw in the reflection of the store window was a call for the Japanese whaling ships to set sail. I saw this HUGE blob in a wheelchair in the reflection of the door as I went in to buy a container of black shoe polish.

That’s it! Now I am making it known to the world. I am Blubber Man! I have the ability to make a piece of toast disappear in the fat rolls to be store for winter hibernation. I now buy my clothes in the tent shop instead of a department store. I say to the tent maker, “I need a tent for ten and can you put a hole in it for my head and holes for my arms to come out the sides. I my not be able to leap tall building but if I roll on someone they are absorbed and never seen again.

My coach said, “Oh so you decided to die early.” You have the choice eat carrots or eat potato chips. To which my reply was, “Let’s bring that up in about three weeks.”

So friends in Blog land. The battle has begun… Not a diet… (I love those words) A change in life style… Blah, blah, blah!

Here is my plan… Go from 386 to 385 and after that it’s a crap shoot.

Never again will a shoe store window reveal the true “Blubber man.”

My bag of baby carrots lies open on my desk as my chubby fingers type.

Yum?

Who are the important people

When I wake up some mornings I get a glimpse as to what the day will hold. Today I am off to my grandson's school picnic with the idea of thanking people for all they have done for me. My son and daughter for giving me my grandson. His teacher for being the most important person in his life. His other grandfather for loving him and guiding him. His other grandmother for watching him all summer long so that my daughter in law could work and save with out paying for child care.

Who do you need to thank today? Who has made an impact into your life?
