Guess I don’t post for a month and then post everything I think of…

I was watching Jeopardy (as usual) and it mentioned that Steven Hawking was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in the 1960’s.  I didn’t think you could survive more than a couple years with ALS.  My step-father died in a scant two years after he was diagnosed.  Am I nuts?
