Mike Has MS

 

An Update

I know I haven’t been blogging much lately. I’d like to say that it’s because I’ve been busy, and that would be partially true. But mostly, I’ve not had the energy. If you’re desperate to know what’s going on in my life, I’d suggest you follow my 365 Days stream on Flickr. (http rss) I’m pretty good at keeping that updated.

A few weeks ago, my company acquired a competitor. I’ve been working on that quite a bit. Right now, I’m involved in moving their Maynard data center into our Burlington facility. They have about 20 “servers” that are running on desktop hardware. I’m in the process of moving that all to virtual machines. VMWare has become my friend. If you’ve ever been involved in a data center move, you’ll understand when I say that data center moves are close to Dante’s third circle of hell.

Star Trek was fantastic. My only regret is not seeing it in IMAX. I think the IMAX closes this week, and I doubt I’ll have time to see it before it closes.

My life has been a lot of chorus lately. Last weekend was Crescendo!, our annual fundraising gala, and we did well. If you were a supporter, thank you.

This weekend was our annual retreat/all-day rehearsal. The 80s show is only a few weeks away, and you should buy your tickets here, and you should buy them now.  Seriously, this show falls during Boston’s Pride festival, so it’s going to sell out quickly. And with a concert that’s so much fun, you won’t want to miss this one.

I’ve been spending a lot of time with my camera, and I think I’m getting better. This is one of my best photos to date.

About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Boston with my pug, Reggie. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in January 2003 but have been living with MS for much longer than that. This is where you'll find my story, stories, and my history.

I want this site to be a place where people can read about my experiences with MS. I was fortunate enough to catch it really early and my results on drug therapies have been outstanding. This should be a place where people can realize that they can lead a normal life with MS. MS has changed my life, but it hasn't ended it.
