Lloyd - I used to run a hockey camp in the summer up in northern Maine. Was stunningly beautiful in the summertime but no thanks on the winter! Too much cold and PD just don't work well for me.

Steve - Glad you got the boat issues straightened out. And it looks like your tiny state has a great deal of PD related stuff going on. Good for you guys!

Life is crazy. I'm well immersed in my final semester of grad school and student teaching. Getting the business up and running has been one adventure after another. Get to spend Tuesday this week at the Long Beach Convention Center with Maria Shriver, Arnold (I'm still waiting to hear him say gubernatorial in Arnie-speak), Martha Stewart, Trya Banks, Suse Orman, and 11,000 other highly motivated women. I get to work the NPF PD booth and promote my speaking business, so that's cool.

Basically fired my neurologist this week. Me: "Can I try some Sinemet CR at bedtime to help me sleep?" Her: "No. We don't use it for that." Me: "Okay, can I try some Parcopa?" Her: "What's Parcopa?" Later, she tried to backtrack by saying Parcopa is only for end-stage patients. Ugh. So it's off to a new neurologist in a different part of the county to try and find someone within my healthcare system who has a clue. I did see a MDS that was highly regarded (I payed out of pocket but he cut me a deal) and he was so awesome. Do we really need these kind of struggles with everything else we have to deal with? I think not! Insurance is such a necessary evil.

Otherwise, life is good. We're into warm days and cool nights and I'm feeling allright. Hope everyone is well...
