AJ Wasson and I met this weekend in NYC for the MJFF Scientific Roundtable. We stayed together at the hotel, and I think both of us were hyper-aware to not give each other help unless asked (we both yielded to help when dressing - how great to have a roomie - I live alone).
At the roundtable, AJ's alarm rang for medications. She popped the pills, but could not still her trembling hand long enough to take a drink. All of a sudden, a hand appeared between the two of us holding a straw, a voice saying, "this helps me at times." It was Michael J Fox, offering just enough help, just in time.
