I started this year’s travels with a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands (if you missed that, it started here). For my next trip, I wanted to do something different, to ensure that my trip reports get some variety in ’em. So, I asked myself, … Continue reading Nebraska 2023 Trip Report (Day 1)
OK, not Brooklyn. More like “no sleep ’til Charlotte Douglas International Airport.”
My flight to Nebraska (more accurately, my flight to a layover at Midway) is an early one. So early that I have to get up at 2:15 AM. Problem: for the last few nights, I haven’t been going to bed until almost 2:15 AM. So, I feared that I would not be able to get to sleep at a decent hour; I even considered just staying up all night. Instead, I went to bed at about 11:30 PM. For about 40 minutes, I got some fitful sleep, before deciding to just get up. It’s now 1:15 AM, and I am just hoping to get some good sleep during my flights, though I haven’t completely given up on the idea of getting a little more sleep before I leave home.
When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) eight years ago, my PD specialist told me he believed a cure would be identified within just “a few years”. So, I comforted myself with the thought that this was something I would only have to deal … Continue reading Stem Cell Therapy

This time, TBT brings us to October 2015, to witness a return to the mountains around Cherokee, North Carolina. We’ll begin at Bryson City, a small town which serves as … Continue reading Great Smoky & Blue Ridge Mtns (October 2015)
At this time, which I believe to be right now, I’d like to address the exercising (NOT exorcising) of the brain. Exercising of the brain is crucial in the fight against Parkinson’s Disease, and in particular against Parkinson’s Dementia. The instructors at Rock Steady Boxing … Continue reading Brain Exercise
When I first started seeing my Parkinson’s Disease specialist, I noticed a place named The Map Shop a few blocks from his office. Seeing as how I’m a self-proclaimed “map geek” (I have been known to waste hours at a time playing around with Google … Continue reading Blue Ridge Parkway (summer 2015)
A few months ago, I posted a rough travel plan for 2023, which had me going on one trip every other month. For a variety of reasons, I have decided that, for now, that’s just too much. So, I have revised my travel plans to … Continue reading Revised 2023 Travel
One thing I noticed almost immediately after moving to North Carolina is that most rural roads have no shoulder and no pull-outs. There are a fair number of “scenic overlooks” in the mountains, but these mountains support much more vegetation than the Rockies, so the … Continue reading Water, Trees, and Exploding Golfers (March & April 2015)
© 2023 by Cedric Williams Dr. Yobbo will always live. He will never croak nor envelope the sphincter of death. He will live on, for he is a vampire of sorts, feasting on the blood of cucumbers and Beastie Boys. As such, the Beastie Boys … Continue reading A Few More Random Thoughts from a Damn Weirdo
Yes, it’s true. After months (maybe a year) of nothing but Colorado, I have finally purged all the photos I took during my last year in that most magnificent state. This week’s ThrowBack Thursday takes us to the Carolinas. Due to being busy with work, … Continue reading My First Year in Charlotte (April 2014 – March 2015)
