Well this last run was fun, but I have to admit I saw myself going on for a few more years and not just a few more months this time.
I did get about a year extra of better control via medication and exercise, but by the time the holidays of 2009 came knocking and that [...]
Note to everyone within the sound of my voice (or in view of my blog): For best results never hit your car with the back of your head.
Yep, that is exactly what happened to me right after the last time we chatted. I was shopping for..was it Thanksgiving? Christmas? Kwanzaa? Who knows? I hit my [...]
Stubborn but finally giving in to common sense, Carl has had to postpone the rest of his blog activities for the rest of the year due to a slight head injury…lest his family forbid him from having seconds at Thanksgiving Dinner and his being covered with Christmas lights for the yearly “Dress Carl Up As a Christmas [...]
Bad Kitty Attacks Self

An excerpt from the soon-to-be-released I Has the Parkinson’s.
Me? Sick? Well, not really. I don’t have swine flu. I’m not down with a fever or anything like that. In fact, I’m not really sick.
I don’t see myself as sick anymore. Sure, this is a disease. But do I qualify as “sick”? Maybe you have the [...]

Okay, so it isn’t cool to make fun of a hurricane since few of them have a sense of humor…at least this one because it appears that Ida didn’t like my post and wants to stop by and “discuss” the matter further.
As of this writing, Pensacola is forecast to be the center of landfall for [...]
As most of my readers know, I live in Pensacola, Florida. And if you are up on your news—especially the weather—you know that I am in an area that has the potential to become the site of a disaster once again. Tropical storm (or maybe by the time you read this it will be “hurricane”) [...]
Here lies but another exerpt from the upcoming book version of I Has the Parkinson’s, one which tells of the origins of “Bad Kitty Fridays”…
