In the land of all things disability, David Korse can easily be considered the Wizard of Oz. For those who’ve attended any one of the Abilities Expos that take place across the country each spring, you know just how jammed packed they are with helpful vendors, informative workshops, and cutting edge assistive technology. And Korse, who oversees the event with business partner Lew Shomer, promises this year will be even better.

Although neither Korse nor Shomer have a disability, both have about 30 years of experience working in the trade show and conference industry. As longtime friends, “we wanted to work together, so we started a search for potential opportunities,” Korse said. “We heard that the former owners were considering selling the Abilities Expo portfolio and, before we knew it, we had fallen in love with the events, and we became the new owners in the summer of 2008.”

I know, I know, you're thinking oh no!  Another article about dating.  Well, yes and no.  This article is specifically about dating your disability.  I was thinking we all want to go out on a date, but how many of you have thought about dating your own disability? 

The romance, the intrigue, but most importantly the awkward moments. I mean there you are with your quadriplegia, holding hands and maybe kissing a little.  Then one of you needs a condom, who the hell is going to get it?  Nobody, that's who.  So there you go having unprotected sex with yourself.  The horror.
