A desparation is in the air—I guess it’s always been there to some extent—that I don’t rememberseeing as a child. Maybe that’s just because children don’t think about stuff like that. Thereis the ever-increasing hum of a social consciousness that drives us in despair for the need to repair ourbodies, and thus our lives, so… Continue reading Living Forever?
Not the Victory, but the Action. Not the Goal, but the Game. In the Deed the Glory. – Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE
I’ve discovered over the past (nearly) twenty-four years of Parkinson’s Disease that I really don’t know what to expect next. Well, that’s not entirely true. I have learned in the past couple of years that old PD people get the same ailments that every other old person gets. (As an aside, on getting old and… Continue reading What’s Happenin’ Man?
Apex, North Carolina, is a modest town—or at least it proudly thinks it is. There are somegood people in Apex. But, like any growing burb, Apex has its rough sorts, its tough sorts, its gruff,grammar-challenged sorts. Like any other citizen consumed with worry for our withering way withwords, I do my duty.

The injection is sub-cutaneous—that is, just below the skin—and somehow these little dopamine-wannabes end up in the blood stream and… Continue reading ABBVIE-951 Clinical Trial
My Early Years as a Husker The first game I watched as a Nebraska Cornhusker fan—my parents are NU grads, my grandmother was a NU grad, various aunts, uncles, and cousins (and second cousins, etc.) are NU grads. And my great-grandfather received his Law degree from NU. So it kind of runs in the family.… Continue reading NU, OU, and the Big Eight
I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention. You either know this or you don’t. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me back up and say that it’s well-known that the dream of every young American boy is to grow up to be a great major league baseball player. You might be either a… Continue reading The American Dream
So I had a dream the other night and it all led back to a scandal in Lincoln, Nebraska — home of the Cornhuskers — where the NU fan base was infiltrated by a devious Oklahoma resident. His goal was to bring down the Husker Dynasty. (As an aside, I checked the data and from… Continue reading Just a Dream
Alaska Photos My wife and I visit with our grandkids as often as possible, and we’ve been doing some traveling (including Alaska four or five times in the past couple of years). We love Alaska and would move there in a heartbeat if it weren’t so far from our kids and grandkids (except for the… Continue reading Gallery1
