April 2004 Well the big move is on the horizon. Moving out of my house (yes I still live at home) (but seriously it’s not that bad) (it’s kind of like living in a fully-stocked deli) into an apartment on my own. It’s consumed my life – moving out – because it makes me think about growing up, the fast track to adulthood, and all the responsibility I’ll now have. I think what bothers me most about growing up and moving out is paying utility bills. Something about utility bills makes me feel really old – like only adults pay utility bills. I mean a subscription to a magazine used to feel adult but now, paying gas and electric every month makes me feel old. Maybe I should renew my subscription to Teen People? Some would argue the first time I shaved was when I became an adult. But that was before my 13th birthday so I don’t count that. Others would argue it was the day I got arthritis – which we can all agree is a pretty adult disease – but that too was around the same time. What I can’t do is get depressed about all this. Just the opposite. I say "keep the lights on", "run the water", and pay my bill like a man! Life is hectic on the road. I have woken up more than once in the last two weeks not knowing where I went to sleep. And unlike some people, I can’t blame drugs or alcohol for that problem! Today we’re in Knoxville, Tennessee, alongside Joe Namath, speaking to doctors and medical professionals about the Arthritis Huddle. Tomorrow we’re home, thankfully, but not for long. Last week it was Atlanta. The week before that it was Phoenix. And once again my head is starting to spin. One thing is for sure, I’ll be happy to be home tomorrow night. |

Congratulations! Believe it or not, it really is great to grow up and move into your own place. I couldn't wait to move away from my home town , so when I was 17 and had completed high school (in three years because I couldn't stand it), I moved into NYC with an odd assortment of friends. The reality of my decision hit when I discovered that my parents would pay for my college tuition, but not for my rent and other living expenses. This was during the early 70's when things were cheaper and maybe somewhat easier... I do have one very selfish concern: Will you still be able to afford this great web site you've established? |

yea, bills stink. heat and air conditioning are always a surprise. but one of the biggest stinkers is doing all your own food shopping... heavy bags, two flights of stairs, put everything away, sit down exhausted, and realize you missed something really important like... toilet paper! =) having an apartment of your own will be great. having phone and/or internet makes it easier to be on your own, too. |

Others would say your transition to manhod was when you had your bar mitzvah. |
