I’ve been fortunate enough to travel much of the world. I’ve seen Alaska, Taiwan, Barcelona and Israel to name a few. But as I age and my body gets weaker, I’ve worried that I might not have the energy to do another big trip. But when my significant other said that she always dreamed of […]
Dan Appears on the ‘Two Disabled Dudes’ Podcast
I was recently invited to join “Two Disabled Dudes” on their podcast. The dudes are Kyle Bryant and Shawn Baumstark, both of whom have Frederick’s ataxia. This is a genetic disease that causes progressive deterioration of the nervous system ultimately affecting the entire body except for cognition. I did the podcast with Kyle and we […]
Independence??
Independence?? Our recent July 4 celebration had me wondering about what independence really means. About 10 years ago I wrote a best-selling book to my grandson called Letters to Sam: a Grandfather’s Lessons on Loss, Love and the Gifts of Life.

So they promised to pay off debts or return things they have borrowed. But these days we are not trying to curry favor […]
Celebrating 37 Years
On December 20, 1979 I kissed my wife and two little daughters goodbye and walked across my newly frozen lawn to climb into my burgundy colored Dodge dart. Little did I know those would be the last few steps I would ever take. Two hours later my car was crushed by a tire that broke […]
Pain, pills, understanding and compassion
I recently attended an all-day seminar on the opiate addiction epidemic. It turns out a major contributor to the origins of this epidemic was big Pharma.

This election: The voice of human suffering
This election is the voice of human suffering. The anger on one side is a byproduct of a large group of people who feel unheard, unnoticed and uncared-about. People who suffer and feel alienated, angry and helpless. The righteous indignation on the other side is born of fear. And now those who have lost have […]
