Hopefully that’s how it will work.
I decided to go for a little body work – I joined a gym.
This isn’t a small thing. A big of a tightwad as I am, spending money to go excercise somewhere when – if I wasn’t as sedentary – I wouldn’t need to excercise … well it tends to [...]

Intellectual property

For the most part – nearly 99% of the time in fact – I use my own photos for my blogs. I have a large number of digital photographs saved in various locations online taken over a number of years. When I do not use my own I’m quite careful about where I get them [...]
A movie review — of sorts

We Are Marshall.
Is it a football film? well yes it is. It *has* to be because it centers around the 1970 plane crash that killed 37 members of the Marshall University football team (called the Thundering Herd), 8 members of the coaching staff, and 25 members of the community who had went to the game in North Carolina.
It’s [...]

Today Jon and I got the opportunity to go to DC and hang with 2 very good friends: the Captain of our Pirate Ship (if you don’t know – ask) and the lovely gal who did my tattoo.
We sat, we talked, we discussed a possible inking for Jon, we went out for drinks.
I haven’t laughed [...]

Yesterday afternoon I come home from work. Strange though that the door was locked. Anyway I unlock the door and as I open the door I hear a *crash* from the kitchen.
As I rush in the kitchen I see Mom bent over sitting on the kitchen stepstool. I asked her what was wrong.
She giggled.
OK at [...]

yes still not quite the ‘Manderly’ quote but as I’m fond of saying — I’m not a writer either.
This was the first that Mom has been out much since her stroke/TIA in October last year. She’s gotten so very frail and so very picky I swear if it isn’t chocolate she isn’t eating it. It’s become quite [...]

If you find me then welcome – feel free to read and comment if you so desire. I’m not advertising this blog because this is the blog I’m using to cope with the parkinson’s diagnosis (note how I hate saying “jon’s” diagnosis) and all that entails.
He doesn’t like talking about it. He has learned to [...]
Tonite I imerse myself in music

…because sometimes I just have to. It’s been a rough couple of weeks for no other reason than it simply has. Nothing new has happened … nothing different … it’s just been hard.
Meanwhile, my IPod and I are becoming fast friends.
Some of the more memorable lyrics from this evening
She comes out of the sun in [...]
Dieting – the hard way
Posted in diet, family, parkinsons, tagged diet, family, parkinsons on January 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Actually it’s not so much the ‘hard’ way for most. For me? well let’s just say it gets interesting.
I’ve done best on a modified version of Atkins. A little stricter on carbs than Southbeach but stricter on fats and red meat than Atkins.
Then I – make that we – discover that protein stops Jon’s Parkinson’s [...]
