I suppose it is natural to wonder if my malady is the result of choices that I made. Notwithstanding there are no known causes for MS, I can’t help but wonder if it was something I ate. Or didn’t eat. Do lima beans and walnuts somehow interact to form a myelin shield? I know, it’s silly but I find myself doing this a lot. I consider that most people don’t have MS and can talk well into their 40s. What did I do that was different from most that could have done this?
I habitually read road sign in reverse, you know, Regnirre, T-srif, and Aredam from my home town or even just “Tixe Txen” anywhere. Could that have done it? Maybe somehow the cerebral calisthenics were too much. When alone in elevators I used to take a couple practice swings with my air Easton – I don’t think a lot of people do that. I always lather and rinse, but I never repeat. That can’t be it. Does anyone repeat? Maybe it is thinking ridiculous things too often! I do that.

It's gotta be the road signs in reverse. I'll try to stop doing that.
i always read road sign and try to figure out all the incorrect ways to pronounce them...
Sara, I think you're OK.
Rachel, I hope you like walnuts, lima beans, or swinging an air-bat in elevators. Do you repeat after rinsing?
Hilarious! I don't repeat.
I think it was the walnuts and lima beans...same here.
I think your gift with words, whether it's spelling backwards or not, is a gift rather than a curse! I still remember a very long time ago when Cory and I were visiting you and Kara and you went to tell your kids a bedtime story. I couldn't believe how advanced your imagination was and I thought, "What a cool Dad!" I think that's still true.
Thanks for the kind words, "Vern." Having an "advanced imagination" means a lot coming from you.
