I have an appointment with my neurologist on Friday, don't know what we will talk about? It's not as if they had anything new to offer its the same old same old. One good aspect of my appointments I'm usually in and out in a matter of minutes 15 at the most. I'm also fortunate to have a doctor who values his patients time as much as his own which is extremely rare I don't think he's ever been late.

I'm not even taking the Van for the appointment I will rely on paratransit instead. For one thing taking the driver's seat out of the van is a bit of a chore for Denise they're predicting rain that day and finally I really don't want to deal with the hassles. With the bus they come pick me up drop me off bring me back at a cost which is probably less than what my gas consumption would be.

Denise purchased two tickets for us to see the Glenn Miller big band orchestra at the national arts center this evening.
It was a nice surprise and I'm really looking forward to the show I don't know if it's because I played the trumpet for so long yet for me nothing comes close to a 15 piece orchestra playing big band music. I'm certain I'll end up buying a few CDs which will be great.

Lately it seems the least amount of effort tires me, so many simple things frustrate me on a daily basis that it doesn't take long for me to reach a point where my only comfortable position is lying back in my chair. Everything it seems is simply getting harder, which may be due to normal progression of the disease yet it still sucks big time.

HI Dad,

Love you

It was excellent, mom and I were definitely among the youngest in the audience which is unfortunate I guess the younger generation do not appreciate this type of music.
To witness an 18 piece orchestra next to a 12 piece orchestra is absolutely amazing.

I guess we never think of going to see that type of concert - most of my friends love this type of music, Mike especially, I bet it'd be great to see.
