Merry Christmas!

Christmas came early for Sloan. The wonderful students at Duke finalized his guitar/piano stand, and to break it in, and to thank them for all their hard work, we had a Christmas Jam to celebrate! We shared a bunch of good food and good music with great friends! It is hard to even know where to start describing to folks who weren't here how amazing the party was for Sloan. There was a major jam session led by Sloan, Christmas carols, sing-alongs, ice cream cake!, and a very special surprise gift of three songs from Chris and Aaron of the Chris Hendricks band. Above is a highlight video of the evening, and here is a link to the many, many photos taken to document the fun. A very special Thanks to everyone who came and shared the evening with us, and a very big thanks to Rachel, Kristine, Brendan and Al from the Duke Biomedical Engineering class who made it possible for Sloan to create his music with everyone. A+ guys!Every friend in attendance came bearing their gifts of love, frien...

So It Begins...

TODAY was finally the day Sloan got to try his Guitar Rig and rock out on his own! How many engineers does it take? Four! Many of you have been hearing us talk about Sloan's Guitar Project that the Duke students are working on this semester for a long time now, but after a lot of hard work from the students over this semester, today it was ready for a trial. They even have it set up so Sloan can use the rig for his piano! Al, Brendan, Kristine, and Rachel have been so fun to work with, and have paid attention to every detail and request with great skill and greater thoughtfulness. Watch the video. Sloan's face says it all. Oh! And to prepare, Sloan has been watching his friend Aaron's videos on the website Free and Easy Guitar . (Aaron is the bass player for the Chris Hendricks Band) I better go warn the neighbors...

Sloan and Six Ninjas Walk Into A Bar...

Okay, that's not exactly true. It wasn't a bar. Sloan and Six Ninjas walked into a Noodles and Co. for dinner after a very exciting day at Megan and Barton Cutter's DisABLED Protection Workshop at the Reality Center. Yes, NINJAS. Really! Sloan and I were excited about the workshop, but not really sure what we were going to do or how we were going to do any of the drills. We have known for a long time that Barton and Megan met by studying Martial Arts, but we had never seen them in action before either. (Other than one night at a bar during a Chris Hendricks Band show.:-) But Martial Arts and a wheelchair???? How does that work? Throughout all of the many adventures Sloan and I have undertaken over these many years, including late nights at bars and clubs listening to music, traveling to different cities, or sometimes just going around Durham, I think I still had a feeling that we may be a vulnerable target for nefarious folks out and about, or that if someone did approach ...
