What Do You Wish They Knew?
I love my “brother in diabetes” Wil. He’s a guy who “gets it”, and has a really incredible talent for writing that is a pure joy to read (did you guys read his recent breathtaking “Man vs. Wild” post?). I…

Meeting Mark!
Before life got busy … wait, actually it was right in the middle of life being busy … I got an e-mail from Mark Mansheim over at “The Jagged Edge“. He said that he would be in the twin cities…
Roche Summit – Part 3 – Reflections
It was really hard saying goodbye to everyone. It didn’t really hit me until I was driving home from the airport late Thursday night (after I made sure to not get hit by the Light Rail Train). I was so…
Not By Choice – George Simmons
World Diabetes Day is always a pretty special day for many of us living with diabetes. But last year, November 14, 2008, we were treated to something very, very special. One of my very best friends, and a favorite…
Sunday Tags, Part Two – Eight Is Great
I was tagged for this one by both Rachel and Penny (thanks!). I’m not a huge “meme” kind of guy, but figured I should get this one done and out-of-the-way, rather than procrastinate on it (sorry Chris!). Eight things I’m…
Coffee or Tea? Molly or me? I choose DIXIE!!!
I got together with a small group of Diabetes Daily members again last weekend. It was awesome. missitaly, deanusa, Molly & Dixie, and myself all enjoyed some warm beverages, easy conversation, and lots of laughs. For those that are not…

Wow! Thank you!!
I don’t even really know what to say. I started this blog about two years ago, mostly as a place to express my thoughts, emotions, frustrations, struggles, and successes in living with type 1 diabetes. I found that blogging about…
A Call to Action
Penny has posted a Call to Action. Please go take a look at her post. She really makes some great points about the general lack of awareness that exists in the public eye. The majority of what we do…
Minnesota Nice
Many of you may or may not know that I’m in Minnesota. More specifically in the city of Minneapolis. You know, the one that people always pronounce “MinneaNApolis” (No – this is not INDIANAPOLIS, thank you). I have many PWD’s…
But what good comes from that?
There are things in life that we don’t have a choice about. Diabetes is, of course, one of those things. Gas prices and taxes are a couple others… I don’t like having diabetes. In fact, it quite honestly really sucks.…
Positive Feedback vs. Negativity
What gets you going? Positive feedback or the nay sayers? Are you the type that gets serious motivation to do something just because someone says you can’t? Or do you get going when you get some positive recognition? I am…
The JDRF Walk
The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes for my area was held Saturday at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN (very near Minneapolis). Thanks to many generous friends and family I was able to raise a grand total of $1,175…
I’ve Been Tagged!
Wil over at LifeAfterDx has “tagged” me! The deal is that after reading five random facts from many other folks around the “blogosphere” (which have all been very interesting reads by the way), I, being tagged, am to post five…
April of 2005, a Month To Remember…
Ahhh, where do I even start. I’ve been “offline” for so long I don’t even know where I should attempt to bring you all back into my story. April of 2005 created many memories that I will carry with me…
