⚕️🧵 An electronic message that I sent this morning to my Endocrinologist (also a synopsis of my latest entry into my symptom diary).

And if your US House Representative and US Senator decline to take action, then you know what to do. Act accordingly in the voting booth. Ultimately, we have the power.

The good people of the state of New York, the good people of the city of New York, and the good people of the borough of Brooklyn, will NEVER hold these clowns accountable. They will continue to send them back to Congress—no matter what. That is reality.

"And yet neither Congress nor the sycophants in the White House seem willing to stop him." @radiofreetom.bsky.social Full stop. The GOP-controlled Congress can halt this madness—at any time. The minority Democratic Party can resist this madness—at any time. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Chuck Schumer. Hakeem Jeffries. Friends, what are your thoughts on these two? Please, feel free to speak frankly.

Sweet Coco hanging out with me tonight. 😸🧡🥰

Who wants to Wang Chung with me tonight? 🎶

Tonight, I needed a pick me upper. This vid did the trick! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoXu...

The Republican party is evil. From top to bottom. And is solely responsible for everything wrong and corrupt in the USA. Period.

Hi friends, hours after my second dose of #Strensiq #hypophosphatasia #HPP, all is well. No symptoms or signs of a hypersensitivity reaction (reported in < 1% of patients). Nonetheless, I have my EpiPen at the ready (just in case). So far, so good… 🙏🏻💪🏻🦴

I got sweet Coco new scratch posts, which I taped together to provide more breadth for her. I think she likes them. 😸

The honorable Mark Kelly is my preferred candidate for the Democratic party nominee for POTUS.

A thread 🧵 on healthcare and advocacy. As I embark on the next stage of my journey with #osteoporosis and #hypophosphatasia #HPP, I’m mindful of multiple aspects of this process that have grounded me and that I’d like to share with my friends.

Sweet Coco is enjoying a new spot in her new home. 😸

On this lovely #Caturday, sweet Coco and I are keeping each other company. 😽🧡

Sweet Coco is still hanging out with me. She melts my heart and enriches my soul. 🫠🥰😽🧡

I'm not in the mood for more bullshit and cowardice from Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of the Democratic party leadership. Or their enablers. Nope.

We saw Jan 6, 2021 and Jan 7, 2026 with our own eyes. This is not Orwell's 1984.

A 22 minute walk per day (at an 18 min-mile pace), every day, helps keeps premature death away. You can divvy it up! One 11 minute walk in the morning and one 11 minute walk in the evening. #healthyliving #physicalactivity #walking

The Trump administration is pure evil. From top to bottom.

More good news! My case manager at my specialty pharmacy confirmed that my commercial insurance carrier will cover my treatment with #Strensiq. Initially, my co-pay was $1,220 per month; but with the #Alexion OneSource co-pay program, my co-pay is now $0 per month. I'm sooooo fortunate. 🙏🏼

Sweet Coco! Where arrrrrrre yoooou? 😺🧡

Good news, my friends. Today, I learned from #Alexion Pharmaceuticals ( #AstraZeneca Rare Disease) that I've been approved to start treatment with #Strensiq for #hypophosphatasia #osteoporosis. Soon, I'll learn from its distributing pharmacy the details on insurance coverage (hopefully, 100%). 🙏🏼

This past weekend, during my 2-day move I got in +40,000 steps. At a moderate-intensity level of activity. It felt great! 💪🏼🏃🏻‍♂️🫀⚕️ #healthyliving

Dan Caine needs to be busted down to a Brigadier.

Today, sweet Coco 🐱 and I have a new home in SAT. 😃

2026: another blissful year of sweet dreams for sweet Coco. 😸🧡🙏🏻

Having New Year's Day off from work is [multiple applicable adverbs] underrated. 😎

🎶 I will be with you again... 🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYC...

A cup of hot black coffee (no added sugar). A serving of Icelandic yogurt (no added sugar). Flanked by two sessions of resistance training. Collecting my thoughts. Simplicity is gold.

Happy New Year, my friends! 🥳 May 2026 bless you with good health, good fortune, and good memories. For me, it will be another year of acquiring and sharing knowledge, 🤓discovery, and optimizing/maintaining good health. 🫀⚕️Will you join me?

Since the San Antonio 5K Run at the top of the month (when this song was rocking at the start line), I've added this song to my workout playlist. 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UIB...

❤️🥳

I have both NYE & NYD off for the 1st time in many years. A modest early celebration at High St Wine Co. 🥂 in SAT. Also, I’m sporting cologne for the 1st time in… a decade? Just in the mood tonight. Cheers, my friends! 🥳

Baby girl 🐱 keeps me happy. Thank you, sweet Coco!! 🧡

Oh, my gosh! When the sun shines on sweet Coco 🐱, her ‘hidden’ golden fur also shines! 😍🧡😺

I’m not sleeping, I’m resting my eyes!

Happy baby girl! 😸🌞

Sweet Coco wishes her human and furry friends Merry Christmas! 😺🎄❤️💚

Good morning, friends! Merry Christmas! 🎄💚

My friends, although we cannot save this terrible world, we can make a difference in it. That difference, however small, can change someone's life, or a fur baby's life. And it will be remembered by those who saw it and felt it.

Is there a better omen than meeting a family of gentle wild ponies on your Christmas Eve hike?
