Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

24 Aug 07, 2:37 AM - Breaking The Ice

Posted by Mark

Sorry I'm late to the party. I would have arrived sooner, but the Internet is a big place and I got a bit distracted on my way here. You would not believe the stuff that's lurking in the darkened alleys of the Web. I had absolutely no idea that goats were that limber.

But I digress. I'm Mark Siegel and I've been blogging at for the past five years. All of my regular readers have become bored with me, which is why I'm incredibly grateful for this 成人快手 gig. This should bring me a whole slew of new readers, who in time will also become incredibly bored with me.

I'm an attorney living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In case you don't know where that is, try to summon up a mental image of the United States. You see that big part in the middle? Minnesota is on the northern edge of that midsection, just south of Canada and just east of, well, not much. I'm originally from Wisconsin. That won't mean much if you're not from around here. The two states have occasional border skirmishes, but mostly we keep to ourselves and invent truly awful jokes about one another's football teams.

I work full-time for a department of state government, where I focus on policies related to disability and employment. I have a neuromuscular condition called spinal muscular atrophy, which means I have very little use of my voluntary muscles. I use a wheelchair and breathe with the assistance of a ventilator. When I'm not compulsively blogging, I'm at the movies, reading something from my towering backpile of books and magazines, or otherwise indulging my pop culture/geek obsessions.

You'll find out more about me in the coming weeks, but if you feel like indulging your inner stalker, here's a that a friend of mine did about me a few years ago. He describes me much better than I ever could.

Part of me is trying valiantly to picture what on Earth you mean by the goats being that limber. The other part of me is worried that I might not WANT to ....

In any case, welcome! I'll look forward to reading more outposts from the 19th floor. (Dare I presume that these will henceforth be goat free? Or should I proceed with caution?)

Since you are an attorney in the United States, I am curious to know if you have yet (or plan to) blog about the Americans with Disabilities Restoration Act of 2007 (HR 3195, S 1881) at some point, either here or at the 19th floor? Or have you and I missed it? Hm, I should check out your blog ....

This is the first I've heard of an ADA restoration act, and I'm an American (Texas, the southern part of the middle section, north of Mexico). Do write about it, Lawyer Mark. Or point us to the best places on the web for more information.

And you're not fooling anybody; if you've spent any amount of time in Minnesota, you know how limber goats are.

Yes, Mark, please do join the other bloggers who are blogging about the ADA Restoration Act!

For examples, check out the list of blog posts I've found on this topic so far (including a few of my own) at

Yes, this has been a shameless self-plug :-) But my purpose in presenting it here is in the hope of encouraging others to blog on the ADA Restoration Act as well. If you do, come over to my blog (reunifygally.wordpress.com) to let me know and I'll link to you too.
