In Spring, a Young Man's Fancy Turns to ...

.... well, lots of things. The past few days involved baseball and mobility.

This week's big news was the fact that Tim climbed stairs. Yup. Did it sideways - facing the railing and supporting himself that way as he climbed a "Spaulding Flight" right there in the stairwell. Nicely done.

Then on Saturday, he made his first appearance at Fenway, along with his friend Erin. His presence was felt as the Hose thumped the Rays 12-4. How did he get there? Why he took a cab. Not finding one for the return trip, he wheeled himself to the St. Katherine's stop on the Green Line and rode it to North Station, where he then wheeled himself to his room. Sounding pretty strong and independent to me!

  2. Tim- Hi from good ole West Stockbridge. We have been out of touch for a while, but we are so glad to get your news from this wonderful blog that your dad is keeping up. I was blown away by all that you have done in the last several months, not surprised (I know you have spunk and determination) but IMPRESSED! So keep sending those good thought along to the Red Sox, as we will keep sending them to you. Go Sox and Go Tim! Bill, Vaunie, Sarah, Lyon and Sam Graulty (check out Lyon's band's website: The Amity Front. Let us know what you think.)
