What is normal?

Back a couple decades ago, we were around a young man with Down's Syndrome. Ken was fun to just be with. Super honest and 100% authentic. You simply enjoyed being with him. I could make noise on the guitar, but Ken could play the guitar. His songs weren't masterpieces, but you could recognize them and sing to them, which was better than mine. Many would say Ken wasn't normal. Maybe not for some, but I'd enjoy spending eternity with Ken just the way he was and is...

The one where Matthew Perry determines his legacy
(Column ~ 11/04/23)
Since Matthew Perry died last week, I've seen countless clips in my social media feed of his work as Chandler Bing on "Friends." But snippets of a recent interview have also been circulating. In November 2022, Perry was a guest on "Q with Tom Power." He was promoting his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing." Perry told the show host, "When I die, I know people will talk about 'Friends,' 'Friends,' 'Friends.'
