Join me down the rabbit hole of Reyes Syndrome, a medical anomaly that almost killed me as a child, and find out that no one reads the fucking warning labels on bottles!  Hooray!

Hear the wild tale of shockingly rare childhood disease I had called Reye's Syndrome that absolutely no one knows about that almost killed me!   Hooray for life!  I am one of 1,000 survivors since 1974 which means there's a .000000002% chance I am here.  CRAZY. 

In 1992, I almost died on the side of a mountain after my car plummeted down after a near-miss truck incident.  This turned into the greatest punchline of all time.

This week's story is about the two weeks that followed after my wife's suicide on Easter Sunday, 2013.  It is a tale of love in the time of chaos, magic, loss, and her funeral in the heart of Los Angeles.  

Join me as I ramble for 5 minutes and 45 seconds during the beginning and then proceed to tell the tale of my brush with harmony history next to a rock and roll icon over cheese sticks.  Enjoy!

This week's story is about how I learned of the beauty and grace of humanity's potential in the face of terror and chaos.   It is about the moment I learned of my wife's suicide.   

Delve into my wild and wonderful and terrible journey through bipolar disorder!  Turns out my brain makes free meth!  I like exclamation points!
