Halloween Is A Way Of Life


"A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable."
~Billy Graham~

Becoming disabled is starring in my own personal "A Nightmare On Elm Street," except there is not even a waking reprieve. My Freddy Krueger is my diagnosis - Stiff Person Syndrome.

Stiff Person Syndrome, SPS, is a bizarre neurological disorder, rivaling Freddy's antics with syndrome symptoms. My syndrome possessed body will twist, writhe, spasm, or fall at the slightest 'trigger' whim.

Humor is a vital coping mechanism for me. I love Halloween, providing fertile, unhallowed ground for my irreverent gallows humor.

From my website:

Halloween Greeting 2009

You'll find me at the IV pole dance contest, cheered on by Harvey Wallbanger!
