Gov.

I don't care about dignity, I just don't want to die like my dad did. He had ALS and it was a very slow degeneration that seemed very painful.
In a state that prides itself on health care access, quality and innovation, some advocates say they're dismayed by how little the Massachusetts Legislature accomplished before wrapping formal business last month. Legislators can point to a few budget items as accomplishments. But the list of bills ...
Perry, a ham-radio operator (W1GRD) , reports he was up around 2:30 a.m., and on the radio when he heard some unusual distortions in transmissions that made him think there might be some aurora lights up in the sky - so he went outside with his iPhone. Read more.

These shows where you have to fall in love seem like a dystopian nightmare to me, but I guess if people are entertained...
