Michael J. Fox: Optimisitic
This is what we in the trade call a significant program announcement, and perhaps the program will be too when it airs in a couple months -- assuming that by then, everyone is feeling about as optimistic as they do right now. Which is a shade darker than "pessimistic."
“Michael J. Fox: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist.”
That's the name of the special this May (7 at 10) that will be hosted by...well, you know who.
Here's the quote from this afternoon's news release:
"For everything this disease has taken, something with greater value has been given,” Fox says, “So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but after a time with parkinson’s, I’ve learned that what is important is making that one step count.”
Here's the graf describing this:
"The whole world, shaken by economic woes, is taking a closer look at optimism. Imagine a country which measures its success with a figure for “Gross National Happiness” instead of Gross National Product. Fox visits the secluded Himalayan nation of Bhutan, a modern day Shangri La that stresses the importance of joy in everything it does. Can happiness actually be legislated? Fox is fascinated by this nation’s commitment to the positive well-being of its citizens. "

What a gorgeous, silly, happy man. If only he knew that he himself has been a source of unimaginable happiness to me for so so many years!!

I just love Michael J. Fox. I read his first book, Lucky Man. I am really looking forward to reading his second book soon. I am going to try and get it from my local library. If the waiting list is too long, I will probably end up buying it. My half-sister has Parkinson's Disease, and is in the advanced stages now. She can hardly speak, cannot swallow and has to be tube-fed most of the time. She basically lays in bed all day and is currently in a nursing home. Her quality of life is very poor.
