I’m gradually getting over a bout of bronchitis. I managed to skip over the typical cold and went right to a cough. Or something like that. I know exactly when and where I caught “it” too. March 7.

Pretty good Saturday
I had a pretty good weekend. I’ve mentioned to more than a few people that Saturday’s are tougher on me for some reason. It was always a day when Kathy and I would do a lot of chores and routine stuff. Going to the dump. Recycling. Sometimes shopping. Working in the yard. Laundry. They were not always pleasant either.

They are not really sure where it came from, or what caused it, but it could have been something she already had.… Read more →
Reno / Part 3: Visiting Kathy’s sister LouAnn
A few days before I returned home I used Barbara’s car to visit Kathy’s sister, LouAnn in Grass Valley CA. It is about a two-hour drive over the mountains and past Lake Tahoe. LouAnn has Huntington’s Disease. I almost wrote the phrase ‘just like Kathy.’ But, it’s not the same. While there are a lot of similarities in HD patients,… Read more →
