Rain and coolness, movement and naps! The day streams by like a floating marshmallow, like a poof of fog! Got a link to the DanceForPD.org site. I don't know how I've not been on this site. It details all the PD dance activities being done by the Mark Morris dance troupe for people with PD. The NY contingent will be doing a performance in November that will form the core of a film about the disease and dancing. The film is being produced by Dave Iverson (he wrote the book My Father, My Brother, and Me about their experiences with PD) who lives in Menlo Park and works for KQED. He recently ran a marathon as part of his battle with the illness. A link to some information about his film project appears below--

I dreamed last night that I was consulting to a group of toy designers about the creation of a new toy. There were undercurrents in the interactions between me and the company's designers. I got the impression that they were not being completely open with me about the product's features. One instance of that came up when I asked to see old storyboards that had been done for the product. I was directed to a filing cabinet, but not told how the contents were organized. I felt stupid but had to ask that someone show me how things were filed and organized. When I was shown how the filing system worked, I realized I could have figured it out myself. I was not thinking clearly because of my anxiety and uncertainty.

Started to watch a film--The Future. It was supposed to be a comedy. I'll probably never know. I dropped it after about five minutes of excruciating dialog. They all can't be good!
