Regardless of whether or not he has it, I would still argue that Weird Al is one of the most popular musicians among people with AS.

Not only was I terribly embarrassed to walk around practically naked, I also caught a vicious flu that bordered on pneumonia. My lungs took about six months to recover completely and I was always short of breath when I tried to run.


The rule when I was in school in the 60's and '70's was if the temperature was above the freezing mark and it was not raining we had to go out in our gym uniforms, tee shirt and shorts. And the shorts were really short not like the ones today that go almost or to the knees.

I remember the tennis shorts Borg and McEnroe wore. Ugh! Short shorts that exposed cheesecake white legs and almost showed bum cheeks. Ee-yew! I'm surprised they didn't do a "Rafa," pulling out their shorts.

let's see, you're in the same county as i am which makes me wonder - was this "science camp" somewhere in the los padres national forest? rancho alegre?
