Telehealth Presentation at Providence: Parkinson's and Penmanship

The fine folks at the NWPF bring us another interactive telehealth seminar. This is a two-way television show (think Dick Tracey's 2-way wrist TV with a really big wrist) where an expert gives a program and then takes questions from people attending electronically from all over the Northwest. Ironically the subject of this particular edition will be that ancient mode of communication, handwriting.

The event will be at Providence Hospital, room 2401 on January 11, at 1:00. For more info, call: 1-877-980-7500

Another Year Kaput! This Calls For a Celebration!

Hello Friends,

Another year draws to a close, and if you are reading this it means that you survived. Congratulations! This calls for a celebration, It's potluck time! Let's do it up right and rendezvous at the Anchorage Senior Center at one p.m. on Saturday the 19th at the Anchorage Senior Center. I'm a potluck anarchist which means that everybody brings whatever they want. I plan on slow cooking free range buffalo from up in the Mat-Su, so you can factor that into your decision about your dish.

See you there, and I wish all of you the best for the coming year.

What It's Like to have Parkinson's Disease (first in a series.)

I've been thinking for some time about ways to communicate what it's like to have PD. This is the first of occasional attempts to say it with animation.
