I’ll be attending the Alzheimer’s Public Policy Forum in Washington D.C. in early May.  I’ll be meeting with members of Congress to encourage them to support funding, research, Medicare reform, and the 2008 budget.  I’ll be sure to blog about my experience and share photos after the event. You can have your voice heard too.  [...]

Admit it, all of us have fantasized at one point or another about seeing our name in lights. Here’s the question of the day: have you dreamed about your name in Peanut Butter and Jelly? Luke’s best buddy, Nate the Great, sent us a picture of his lunch last week which was Luke’s name cutout [...]

In headlines this morning there is yet another author who has admitted to fabricating a memoir.  You can read the full feature here. Having worked painstakingly on my memoir for the last year, with intent focus on having it read like fiction, it’s odd that there have been a number of high profile books making [...]
