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.

Nature, brutal bitch she can be at times, is also capable of beauty.
Gail just came in from taking the dogs out. She called me to come look at how the ice melted on the light on our porch.
I thought I’d go ahead and share it with you.
I still hate the winter. I hate the cold. [...]
OK, enough is enough. It is now a week — a WEEK — since the first of the two snowstorms, and there STILL has not been a snow plow through this trailer park. TJ managed to get to work this morning, but said it was a hassle getting out of the park. All the other [...]
Government is back in business tomorrow. It’s still “liberal leave” but at least stuff will get done.
Who am I kidding? I’ve been busier these last few days of “Government Closed” than I usually am on a regular day.

This first one is the only one I took without flash. I wanted to get a shot of the scene without the flash capturing the snow being blown around.
The rest of these are just random shots [...]
As I said yesterday, for the four years I was a federal employee in the Bush administration, we never had a day where the government was closed for bad weather.
Tomorrow will make the 5th day in a month… 4th in a row.
It was hellish out there today. Nearly two feet of snow, and now it’s [...]
It seems as if the second part of this Snowmageddon has descended upon us. The snow started falling in earnest at about 4 or so. There’s been about 2 inches so far, and they’re calling for 6 to 10 during the overnight with total accumulations of 12 to 18.
The government will be closed again tomorrow… [...]
I‘m sick to the point of nausea of writing about the snow. Now, poised on the brink of Snowpocalypse II, in which we expect another 10-20 inches of crap to be dumped on top of the 38 inches we got over the weekend, a cool photo has surfaced.
This photo was taken Sunday by NASA’s Terra [...]
