I'm a 55-year old federal writer-editor who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 10 years ago. My balance and gait are severely affected, so I work from home. I attempt to attack this disease… mostly by laughing at it.
I hope I can bring a smile to your face as well.

HUNKY DUNK
UNDERCOVER TRUCKER
I walked back to the bedroom for some reason earlier today, and this was the sight that greeted me.
They were EVER so comfortable. Raven raised her eyes to look at me, and right away I was reminded of that old adage…
“Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.”
Now, I don’t know if my girlies are familiar with that adage, [...]
Somewhere in America today, a dog is uncomfortable. But not here. Not at our house.
So many people mistreat their doggies. Many of our hillbilly neighbors who have dogs leave them outside and in pens so they can bark and bark and shiver in the cold.
That’s not how we do things here at the Schmalfeldt Home [...]
Gail went to the store. She went without me today because the wind is really whipping out there. There have been times when, hobbling along with my walker, a good gust of wind almost caused me to lose my balance. Gail figured “better safe than sorry,” and I wholeheartedly agreed.
No sooner is Gail out the [...]
We don’t let Shiloh sleep with us at night because she’s such a spaz. She will do well for the first half hour or so, then she goes from bed to bed, putting her cold nose on whichever body part is exposed, because she’s JUST… SO… BORRRRRRRRRRRRED!!!!!
Go ahead and scoff, but I think my border collie understands spoken English. I have proof!
It’s a German shepherd infestation!
Why bother making the damn bed in the morning if a German shepherd is gonna waltz into the bedroom and rearrange it to her liking?
Shiloh took a PERFECTLY made bed, scratched up the blankets, and made a DOG nest for herself.
A guy can’t win these days.
THE STORM THUS FAR…
The snow started around 11. Around 2, it began to stick to grassy surfaces. Around 5 it began sticking to the street. Now it’s starting to pile up. A bit more than an inch so far. 29 to go.
As of yet the dogs show no signs of going feral. The fish, on [...]
Parkinson’s disease, thou art a WHIMSICAL affliction!
Having a particularly Parky morning… if I didn’t push myself, I would be completely satisfied to sit here, staring at the computer screen, motionless, listening to blues on Music Choice on the cable. But that ain’t what they pay me the big bucks for, so I manage to force [...]
