Default Internet Article about Me, and I Posted a Video...
An old friend of mine has published a short Internet article about my experiences fighting multiple sclerosis. I thought some here might find it interesting.

Also, I put up a YouTube video showing what it's like to take a power wheelchair trip through the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It's kind of funny, and it's getting some good response. I hope you get a kick out of it...

Here's the article:

And here's the video:

Thanks, Marc, great article, Jon did a nice job describing your indefatigable good attitude.

The video was a blast, I have two nieces living in upper Manhattan and neither can believe that I have no interest in returning to NYC. LOL, I sent them a link.

Great article, Marc. Very upbeat.

I enjoyed your ride through the Upper West Side of NY. I watched your quick ride through Central Park, as well...Cool.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Where is the Forum you frequent, besides here, of course.

God Speed...

Marc, the video is great! Seeing Manhattan through your eyes was very enlightening. "The human blockade", LOL! So annoying even when you're not in a wheelchair! I laughed out loud at least 3 times but that door at H&H bummed me out. Does that happen frequently with establishment doors here?

On the bagel note, have you tried Murray's? They're closer to me but they'd still be my fave even if H&H was in my 'hood. (I'd like to import Zabars downtown though. )

I look forward to seeing more videos!

Marc,
Loved the video and article. I've laughed and cried this morning, Seeing butts from a chair!!!!! Went to a party, that's all I saw. Took my revenge by telling some friends "And none of them good. I saw a guy with panty line!"

Went in my chair to a mall at Christmas shopping time. YIKES!!!!!

You make me feel a little better, a little.

Your access to NY bagels made me jealous. They stink in MD. (I'm from Jersey. Our bagels and pizza weren't bad. Pizza here stinks too. Nice trees though)
