Back in May of this year, I undertook a whirlwind tour of Iowa. One of my stops was the world’s largest truck stop, where I found the product pictured above: TravelJohn! (TM). The exclamation mark is actually part of the brand name, not a reflection … Continue reading Product Review: TravelJohn!
Some time ago, I wrote a little about the Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptom known to many as “Acting Out Dreams“. Over the last couple of days, this symptom (formally known as REM Sleep Behavior Disorder) has manifested itself in a new and annoying manner. Y’see, … Continue reading Acting Out Dreams Re-Visited
Good news! Over the last two weeks, I have had no new issues with the Vyalev pump. I am still experiencing the aftermath of the last big issue. There’s still a BIG nodule and the skin is still red, but it’s smaller and less angry-looking … Continue reading Vyalev Pump: More Good News
A few months ago, I typed about where/how to secure the Vyalev pump on your person. Now it’s about time I addressed where to stick the other end. But first, Lemmy Kilmister give ya a few details you may not already know. First off, the … Continue reading Vyalev Pump: Where do I put the other thing?

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! I just realized that my previous post was post number FOUR HUNDRED on this blog. That sounds like far more typing than a man in my condition should be doing. But I shall continue until it kills me. Or maybe a … Continue reading Utah 2025 Trip Report (Day 4)
Day 1: I’ve been on enough so-called “scenic train rides” to know that they aren’t all worthwhile. So, I only ride those that sound truly unique.
