The picture above is from a 2007 Cushing’s meeting in Columbus, OH when we all gathered around my rented yellow Cushie Cruiser.  There are more pictures from that year at Columbus, OH 2007

As always, it was great to get together with other Cushies.

Today, April 5, 2014 there was a local Cushie meeting in Northern Virginia.  This time, I drove the bright blue (Pacific Coast Highway blue in Chrysler parlance) Cushie Cruiser.

Some of the Cushies were old friends, some were new ones but it’s always wonderful to get together, to share stories, to not feel so alone with this disease.

If you can, go to local meetings, get out for coffee, connect somehow with others.

You’ll be glad you did!
