This past weekend I went home to Norwood to be there for my mom while she is going through a difficult time. My step father had a brain tumor biopsy this past Thursday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. It turns out that he has a glioma. (We will get more news on the specific type of glioma and course of treatment on Friday.)

After taking care of my mom's parents, my dad's parents, my mom, and my stepfather, I decided I wanted to do something for myself. After all, my grandparents did give me money. So I decided to head to the Urban Outfitters on Thayer St. in Providence and buy myself a Diana+. This is the first image I shot with it when I loaded my first roll.

Rush Limbaugh and Michael J. Fox

I was browsing other blogs here on Typepad and I came across, Cyn City. She tackles many different subjects from luxury bathroom accessories to custom tours of New York City. While browsing, I came across a posting from 2006 about the Michael J. Fox and Rush Limbaugh controversy. This was the second time today that this came up. Earlier when I was watching OnDemand at my Dad's, I watched the Biography of Michael J. Fox. I have been a huge fan of Michael J. Fox since the days of Family Ties, I have always had a soft spot for him. His cute looks and short stature always attracted me to him. I mean how often to I at 4'10" find a guy I can kiss without standing on my tiptoes? :)

Here is one response to Rush Limbaugh's comments:

Michael J. Fox: I Wasn't Acting In Ad

Michael J. Fox says he wasn't "off his medication or acting" in an ad for a Democratic political candidate, as Rush Limbaugh has charged, but was in fact overmedicated.

In a CBS Evening News interview with Katie Couric on Thursday, Fox explained that the effects of his medication are hard to predict: "I just take it and it kicks in when it kicks in. Sometimes it kicks in too hard and then you get what's called dyskinesia, which is that rocking motion."

When Couric said Limbaugh had suggested Fox intentionally skipped his medication to increase his symptoms and appear more sympathetic, the actor said, "The irony is that I was too medicated and was dyskinesic. Because the thing about being symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic – it's like wanting to hit yourself with a hammer."
