A Stampede of Happiness: Williams Syndrome
A friend turned me on to Jon Kent’s A Stampede of Happiness, which is a 43 minute long documentary about Williams Syndrome. It’s showing on Amazon Prime.

New Year. Fresh Start.
Five years ago I shaved my head and apparently caused total strangers to explode.Ā Ā A simple haircut seemed like a Very Big Deal last time, but didn’t faze me at all this go around.
