Don't tell me to follow my dreams, I will catch up with them another day.

That old adage "follow your dreams" bounces around in my skull. I think if I followed some of my dreams I would end up endlessly singing, "one flew east, one flew west and one flew over the cuckoo's nest". Some of my dreams, as I have droned on about earlier, are virtual reality, bone-chilling happenings. Here is the latest.

It is a very hot prairie day. I am in my yard, on the grass, looking at the deck. I see a wasp crawl into a small hole at the foot of the deck. I begin to wonder if they have taken up residence. I get a small stick and drive it into the hole. I hear a tumultuous buzzing noise and the wasps storm out from the hole and start to sting me. I begin to run. These are not your ordinary wasps. These wasps are organized. I think maybe they have radar as they follow my every step. I am getting woozy when, like magic, a piece of canvas appears and I dive under it, safe from the wasps for the time being. But, they are hovering like helicopters and I know they are waiting for me and they are very patient

In reality, and by that I mean, in real life, my body let loose with a full body twitch and I dove under the covers, safe from my dream. The next day, my wife said something to the effect "You practically jumped off the bed last night." The joys of PD.

Walking tip for PWP - march as if you were in the military. I find that if I concentrate on my arm movement, my legs have to follow suit. Consequently, my stide length gets larger and my feet then naturally begin the "heel - toe" regime. Walking is good for PWP. My tremor all but disappears when I walk. But a caveat...do it when there is nobody watching, you can look a little silly. But don't give up. Keep on keeping....(you know the rest) The watch words for PWP are: exercise and then exercise some more, no matter how much you despise it.
