At the end of last year when I usually do my Brain Matters fundraiser, I was starting to have several physical problems. I wasn’t able to talk louder than a whisper.

I’ve thought about the quote “I’m Damn Glad to Be Here” many times in my life for different reasons. I’m sure there are those of you who totally get what I’m talking about. There’s the reason to feel glad because you’ve escaped the bad or realize how much worse things could be…the understanding of the “relativity of life”. Then there’s the other ...
