Saying goodbye to 2025... It was full of love, laughter, and joy. We had a grand time with friends: new and old, lots of speaking engagements, trips to Japan, Washington DC, Orlando, and Bermuda, welcoming a new baby, puppies, school concerts and parades, ELF, Aaron Tveit, and seeing the Newsies, double digits, dirty forty for mom, game nights, apple picking, holidays in between, go kart racing and ending it with a complete first floor reno.

I look forward to what 2026 has in store for our family.

Merry Christmas! PS: We really need to improve our family selfie skills

Strutt ev1 is the new self-driving powered wheelchair fit for a king. Features include:
- Breaks down in 5 pieces and can be reassembled without any tools in 30 seconds!
- Built-in AI navigation that can help the user navigate the toughest of challenges, both indoors and outdoors
- Co-Pilot mode allows the user to navigate independently but with obstacle alerts and self-correction
- Dual wheels guarantee more precise steering so none act like castors and don't move freely

For my new bathroom, I installed Superpole for my transfers in and out of the shower. I bought this equipment because of the ability to reinforce it to the floor and ceiling, the nonslip rubber grip, and the multi-directional horizontal bar that can be rotated every 45 degrees.

Note to the wise:
- Holds up to 450lbs but is not intended for the entire (lateral) weight. In other words, don't sit on it! As a guide, the amount of force needed for a sit-to-stand transfer is considerably less than the user's weight - approximately 5-30% of total weight.
- No screws or drilling needed. My contractor installed this for me and reinforced the top part into studs.

I signed up to be a product tester for the Lotus ring At first I was a little skeptical: How is a ring that activates lights any different than asking my Google Home or pressing a button in my app to do the same? 

Well, let me tell you how this wearable device will surmount any of Google's (or Alexa's) features:

🔐 Unlike a smart speaker, the Lotus ring does not store any user data

💡 There's no need to buy a smart home hub, speakers, lightbulbs or to assume the maintenance thereof 

🏨 The wall switch covers are portable and you can move it room-to-room or even to a hotel to control your lights on vacation 

🧲 No tools required. The wall plates are magnetic and literally just "click" on. At the moment, the wall plates are compatible with rocker or toggle plates, either with or without screws

📺 You can turn on your TV as all are infrared-capable

💍 Universal design: The wall switch plate works normally by touch even if you aren't wearing the ring

⚡ Long-held charge for both the switch plate covers and the ring

❓ Questions:

What is a practical use for this product?
Answer: If you have limited mobility and just sat down in bed, but don't want to get up again to control your lights, simply point and shoot.

Can someone blind use this?
Yes. There is a tactile response with the ring. The button to activate the receiver is raised so you can physically feel where you need to depress. Given the 10-30 foot range, you do not have to directly point your finger to the switch cover receiver. 

What's in the pipeline for additional features?

💦 Fully submersible where you can potentially wash your hands with the ring on

♿ Automatically open doors

🔌 Operate other wall outlet electronics 

*In the prototype stage, I got to see if the Lotus ring can turn on my Keurig machine - and YES it can!

The iDry electric body dryer is ideal for anyone with limited hand function that impedes their ability to grip or drape a towel around themselves. Stationed in the corner of a walk-in shower, this system can provide a quick 2-minute dry cycle.

Thank you Janice, CEO and founder of for kindly sending me two pillows to try out. They are a perfect hug around your neck and come in horizontal or vertical with a soft chenille. I primarily use the horizontal pillow draped over my recliner and it is great for keeping my neck straight when I accidentally nod off.

I keep the vertical pillow on my bed as I like a taller pillow for sleeping and one that doesn't move much when I'm trying to reposition myself. I literally sleep upright so I don't have lower back pain when I wake up the next morning. 

What I like about Tausi:
- Both versions fit a standard pillow and feature a secure release buckle
- Mini bonus pillow is great for added lumbar support on my wheelchair
- Made of antimicrobial and antibacterial material
- The U-shape foam insert is washable
