A Better Day
I look around to see, if anyone has just seen what I saw. *** I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the glass before me, that separates me from the customers who sit and eat lunch inside. *** In the two seconds as I lay on the cold concrete and see my reflection, ... ...
Parkinson’s Awareness Month, Day 18: I Don’t Feel Like It
I told a friend last night that I feel disconnected. Disconnected from the PD ‘loop’, ‘circle’, whatever. If you’re involved with the Facebook PD ‘group’ (and by all means, there could certainly be more than one!), you know that there is a growing ‘army’ of people trying to make a difference in finding a cure ... ...

Thoughts on the aftermath of an adventure..and PD that has decided to awake!

Dance of Hope
I just caught a few minutes of a show my daughter was watching. It was a dance contest for America’s ‘best dance crew’. The finalist crews’ names were ‘Super Crew’ and ‘So Real Crew’.
