Missing

I lost my favourite headphones made by V-Moda, looked everywhere and not a sign.

This caps off an evening where I spent 30 minutes driving 1 mile up the hill from the train station. Let me explain. It started to snow heavily yesterday afternoon so I hopped on the train got to South Orange train station, where there was more white powder than at an Amy Winehouse party. Snow all over the place, no scraper for the windows (blast). Finally got on my way only to find my car (German) with rear wheel drive couldn't make it up the hill home!!!
After lots of cursing and general shouting, I drove towards Maplewood (next town over) and swung the other side of the mountain where there is a more gradual road up to my house.

Now the headphone part, I really enjoy listening to music on the train- so no music this morning- I miss Elvis (Costello that is), and Keith Frank ( Zydeco music), you should check him out. No Boom Town Rats, really in to them at the moment. Music is a major part of my commute, so on the way to work I bought a pair of sony headphones for the ride home.

Very Very Busy

I need a clone, or maybe a few more hours in the day about 5 should do. Things are getting hectic. Mission:MS became a legal entity last Friday- Thank You New York State- which puts pressure on me to get my bum in gear and raise some money ( it is a big bottom I have, so hopefully the money will match).

I have hair, The last 8 years I have cut my hair so short my wife calls me a toilet brush ( I don't understand that comment as my hair is a lot shorter that that). But now I am beginning to have a Mane, I just bought my first hair brush in ten years and now I use conditioner. Crikey I will no doubt start going to a stylist when it needs cutting, I miss my visits to my old school Italian barber Tony, with his small talk about his 10 kids ( Tony is over 70, but still works 6 days a week). The joy of his sneak hot towel attack, wow those things hurt.

The physical therapy is making my legs hurt alot more, is this supposed to happen?

Balance

Had a very interesting visit to the Physical therapy Center. After some basic exercises and a balance test we discovered my balance needs improving. This will be done on a special machine which a platform that I have to keep level by shifting my position. Harder than it sounds but a lot of fun. Patricia my Physical Therapist is really brilliant.

I have a lot of respect for a really excellent website called joolysjoint.com. I may of mentioned this site before, but it is worth repeating how good a job they do and how important these places are to MS sufferers. So JJ keep up the good work.
