Rescued! Yeah

September 8, 2009

Today, Tuesday I found a phone message from Jay Whaley advising me he was going to be out of town, and asking me to conduct the interview on BlogTalkRadio this Thursday. Oops, panic time. The wonderfully creative and fine Goldsmith Maureen Brusa Zappellini <http://www.userblogs.ganoksin.com/exhibition/main.php?g2_view=slideshow.Slideshow&g2_itemId=2035> was to be interviewed by Jay. Hmmm, what to do? Made […]

September 4, 2009

Today was a day I was fearing. It was another visit with Dr. Erik Viirre, the neurologist treating my vertigo. My first visit went very well, I had induced dizziness and vertigo during the treatment, and was very unstable for some time after. Maybe 3 or so hours later, all of a sudden, I felt […]

Vertigo

Too Early To Think

August 6, 2009

Oh my goodness, too much to absorb before a cup of coffee. How diabolic auto passwords are, and how unforgiving a minor input. Grrrr. Off to have my stressed brain cognitively tested, yes for real.
