Where have you been? and what
have you been doing? - - - family, school, career, pastimes, good
times, etc.

I saw a lot of Grateful Dead
shows in my younger years, probably 250. Then I married at age 40 and
had two children. I was the primary doctor at San Francisco's
sexually transmitted disease clinic from 1985 -2016. I had a great
job as the preeminent syphilis expert in California. After
retirement I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Keeping myself
together is now my primary job in life but many with PD are in worse
shape than me.

unforgettable trip
|
Going to Mumbai India for an
HIV/STD research and teaching gig. I actually traveled there five
times
My sister Rita wants my brother and I to travel back to Columbus and
relive our teenage years, mainly by eating at Rubinos. I asked her
what we were going to do after we ate their pizza which is probably
not very good and drove by our old house on Broadleigh road. Needless
to say, we're not going to make it.

You’ve come a long way in 55
years. Where are you going in the next five years?
|
I hope to be able to stay in my
house for the next five years. It's got two flights of stairs so not
ideal for an aging Parkinsonian, but I figure I'll live on the top
floor and be like Mr. Rochester's wife in Jane Eyre, you remember,
the crazy one trapped in an upper floor bedroom.
