Michael J Fox

I planned on napping this morning until I saw Michael J Fox was going to be on Rachel Ray. I do not ordinarily watch Rachel Ray. I used to. But these days I usually flip on the TV about 11 to catch The View's hot topics because who can turn away from a train wreck and that's about all I watch of daytime TV. I listen to a lot of music these days. Okay so anywho I am straying. Back to MJF. You do not see him too much since he semi-retired in 2000. Honestly before seeing MJF suffer from Parkinson's I never heard of such a young person having the disease. I work with the elderly and it seemed nearly every senior I worked with had it and I never gave it a second thought, ok they shook a bit, it made things a bit difficult. But seeing MJF pout it all in a completely different light.
So on Rachel Ray there were some tears around her kitchen table this morning, the main topic was Team Fox running the NYC marathon raising money for awareness for the disease and what not. There were lots of laughs, MJF is such a funny guy, when RR asked him what his advice on marriage was his answer was this: If a man says something in a forest and his wife doesn't hear him he is still wrong. MJF was one of my first crushes when I was a kid, well besides Bucky Dent. Back To the Future, Teen Wolf, Family Ties. MJF was da bomb! To see him like this is heartbreaking. Yet inspiring. He and his wife have been married a long time and we all know in Hollywood that is next to impossible add to that the fact they have faced things that normal couples have difficulties with. I miss MJF and really wish we would see him more often.
