Today I am going to get real personal.

If your PALS (person with ALS) has not yet required a bidet, get one now! If you do not have a PALS, get one anyway!

While the obvious perks need not be explained, the feature I really appreciate is the heated seat. Do not underestimate the small pleasure, especially those of you who live, like me, in cold climates, of landing on a warm surface. Particularly in the middle of the night.

That’s it. That’s all I have for you today. You have an assignment. Let me know how it goes.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
