Here’s the promised follow-up. I mentioned in the comments to the last post that there was a news crew taping my time in the wheelchair. Here it is. Bask in my luminescence.
Also, for Nick, the charity is Winners on Wheels. I would link to it, but the website is down. One of the people in charge of the event, the contact with Winners on Wheels, tried explaining why the website was down, but I was too busy bitching about getting water to hear her.

Alex K., he can get out of the chair anytime he wants. That’s the kind of guy he is, anytime. You are building a house with a daisy-shaped room?

It was actually a roof-top garden. I’m amazed that they actually caught someone pointing at an accessibility ramp.

I’m actually much more amazed how they were able to fit the complete story and moral of 1986 classic comedy “Soul Man” into two minutes. If they would just get some trendy new musician (like Vampire Weekend) to re-record The Dicks “Wheelchair Epidemic” for the soundtrack, they would have this years summer blockbuster on their hands.

I’ve wondered many times if a person that was wheelchair-bound would find our experiment offensive - like we were putting on a black-face show.
