    Congratulations to you and to your son! My wife got her Ph. D. from Northwestern so I am very familiar with the Evanston campus :)

    Sorry to hear about your brother's struggles with MS. I've had it since I was 11. Got to get him a nicer wheelchair! Makes a big difference (less weight to push around, custom fit for him). Hit me up if I can be of any assistance :)

    Thank you all for the tremendous amount of well wishes! I really appreciate it!

    Kinda teary eyed as I think about my brother Rob, despite the good face he's putting on it, and all. He is a mechanic by trade, very hands on, like me has lots of projects, dreams, aspirations. All of them are on hold for now. I pray for him every day, and others, like our very own @halo, who despite the odds with MS, continue to battle every day and overcome what life has handed them.

    To me, those folks with challenges, and there are many here on CP, are the real inspiration. My heart and prayers go out to you. My admiration for you. I know you will endure, and overcome, and enjoy life to the fullest each and every day! Love you guys! :smile:

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
