Mission: iPossible: August 2011
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Hope everybody had a good weekend. Although I know some of our East Coast neighbors had to dodge Mother Nature, hopefully everyone is safe and secure out there and not dealing with too many obstacles in their path. Wowgetting your tonsils removed hurts more than I thought. In fact, yesterday and today are probably the worst as far as pain and discomfort, and I expected that by today I would be skipping off to work merrily and without incident. Such is NOT the case. I let Romy ope...

Mission: iPossible: February 2012
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Get That Man Some Pants! Just wanted to get your attention. ;). A long time ago, around these parts, we had our Mission One going, and one of the Recipients (as they came to be called) by the name of Eric Olson (whom I have mentioned before in various places) was here on behalf of his son Liam. Naturally, because of that whole Testosterone and facial hair thing, Eric and I started up a bit of an online friendship. He is a God in the NFL. What exactly does that mean? I'm joki...

Mission: iPossible: WHO WE WERE
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/p/who-we-are.html
Was comprised of a very special mix of Special Needs parents and other individuals, all working together on various projects to benefit kids in the community with communication-related disabilities. The group was originally co-founded by Heather Needham and Kenneth Lilly, and there were some other contributors, both public and private. These original bios will remain on the site while this site blog is still active. Heather Needham - Co-Founder. As well as follow us over at Little Wonders. I was best kno...

Mission: iPossible: July 2011
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2011. Not exactly the title I had planned to post today. No, today's blog was GOING to be titled iLuke, and it was going to feature Luke Lundgren, and the photos of he and his family gathered around the iPad2 that they received yesterday from us. One of our own, one of the families on our list, is struggling now, and we need to divert our attention to them for the moment. And offer your words of encouragement to his family there. All of us here hope that Liam makes a speedy recovery and ...

Mission: iPossible: December 2011
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. Mission Two Recepients Revealed! Almost from the moment we had decided to do this as a 'Random Sequence' selection process, I think it is safe to say that we had some reservations about it. Not because of the fact that it leaves so many things in the hands of chance (as Special Needs parents I think we all have had just about enough of that thank you very much) but for a much more profound reason. Because after you read people's STORIES, they always have an impact on you. We ca...

Mission: iPossible: Mission 4
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2012/03/mission-4.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. Long time no.hey wait a minute. Don't have to say that this time around, cause we are on a ROLL. Mission 3 is in the process of fulfillment. The Recipients have been contacted, it is a matter now of just getting all the Verification worked out. I reached out to all three Parent Contacts today and heard back from everybody, now it is a matter of connecting the Recipients to each of the people who selected them. Taking a different approach this time. Now, regarding Mission 4. You ar...

Mission: iPossible: November 2011
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. As I mentioned Monday, I wanted to make sure I got you all some preliminary info on what we want to do for a small follow-up to our first Mission. Now, I say 'small', though I consider that to be a relative term. Hear me out. Mission Two will be the giving of 2 iPads to 2 families in time for Christmas. But here's the thing. No donations required. We have the iPads already. Also we will, as we are doing this Mission Two: '2 for 2'. And I will go over the details on THAT next...

Mission: iPossible: March 2012
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. As we wait for some of the iPost materials to trickle in and for some Verification stuff to get sorted out to ship out the last of the M:4 iPads, just want to take a moment to point you in the direction of something that is, without doubt or hesitation, worth a few minutes of your time. Moment of Purity seem so rare sometimes, don't they? Do we not owe it to them, and to ourselves, to stop, turn our heads, and take heed? Special Needs Brothers and Sisters. Thursday, March 22, 2012.

Mission: iPossible: October 2011
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 14, 2011. One of the things that has reached out and grabbed me the most about the nature of this entire experience is that even though all the kids share the common characteristic of communication-related obstacles to overcome, it amazes me how unique each child's circumstances can be. How special each family really is. What drives that home, with indescribable force, is reading the documentation of someone else's child. And I put quotes on the word 'progress'. I know Bennett has a QUART...

Mission: iPossible: M:4 Results
http://missionipossible.blogspot.com/2012/03/m4-results.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Not going to have a bunch of fanfare or hoopla, just going to get right to it. Since Mission 3 was very distinctively about trying to choose Recipients ourselves based on our own reasons individually, we wanted to go another route entirely for Mission 4. Also, since it had been so long since we had fired up Mission 2 back before Christmas, we decided to attack the Candidate List sequentially. Therefore, the Recipients for Mission 4 are as follows:. MiP, another mission complete.
