Note: for newbies: here's some light reading material; I don't know what became of Mike, but he was awesome.

Chunkyfrog just posted this on another thread and I thought it deserved its own spot. A lot of us newcomers would not have come across this material so thanks CF for linking back to it.
The article and chapter titles alone are entertaining. I just read one of his articles (CPAP Machines We'd Like To See) and I'm still laughing! I'm looking forward to reading the rest. What a gifted writer and humorist!
Thanks again CF for posting the link.

It took me a couple years on the forum before I found this index--
I have not yet read them all; but today it hit me like a bat that I was probably enjoying them ALONE!

Hey CF, Thanks for posting that link (and kaiasgram for assisting) . I see that it has been a number of years since Mike has posted on this forum (Tue Oct 06, 2009). Is he still around somewhere writing or what? He has a great gift and should be sharing it where ever he is...

He does, however, have a book with some of his gems in it for easy reference. I read it just before starting my therapy, and it gave me an incredibly light-hearted outlook during those first few weeks.

I got curious about where his writing has taken him since he was posting here a few years ago -- he writes/speaks more now in the area of business and internet marketing.

I believe he always spoke mainly on those topics, but then was diagnosed with OSA and spent some time writing on CPAP use. Both to help himself through it, and to help us all through it.
