Yesterday morning I
rode the B&K Railway from my hunker bunker up to to the kitchen, and there
the vehicle stuck. It just won't move. We await a service call.
There I was, up on the
first floor while my laptop, Kindle, headphones, TV, La-Z-Boy chair, books and
bathroom were on the floor below. That’s where my daughter and son-in-law
created a bedroom and den for me, big enough for hockey. But I’ve lost my pucks.
We have no photos of
my daring descent, via derriere loco motion, one step at a time, with daughter Marie
one step ahead of me and granddaughter Kristen one step behind. For Kristen,
this was a procedure that may not be taught in her P.A. school.
So it is possible to
keep one step ahead of multiple system atrophy, MSA, which science so far finds
incurable.
Brilliant scientists
explore the universe, extend life expectancy, even merge the dreams of George Eastman,
Alexander Graham Bell and Ma Bell so that telephones can take snapshots. One of
these days men and women of science will discover a master tool for the cure of
all the incurables. This will be followed by a decline in the amount of time
humanity devotes to prayer.
