To: Murray Charters I am convinced that idle hands make work for the devil; consequently, I make a determined effort to be as active as possible every day. A typical day begins at about 5 am (+/-). I turn on my Medtronic Extrel neurostimulator pop a Sinemet CR and half a Permax into my mouth and walk out the door of my apartment for a brisk 5 km - thats 3.15 miles for the American non-metric types - walk with my 4½ year old Airedale Terrier 'Madam' in Toronto's Rosedale Ravine system. That takes 45 minutes (+/-) and clears the cobwebs. When I return, I feed the dog, have a shower and shave and get dressed. Then comes breakfast - about an hour, sometimes more - during which I read the National Post and The Globe and Mail. Its now between 7:30 and 8:00. I go into my home office and work on whatever project(s) are occupying my mind - this morning it's a Reception on May 25 for my SuperWalk sponsors who, over the past six years, have given over $50,000 to the Foundation. The one thing I can't do is write longhand , so I'm preparing the invitation list which my wife and daughter will hand-address. Thats what I've got to now, and its only7:30 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Murray Charters" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2000 12:37 AM Subject: Re: What I've been up to > Hi Bill, > That's a pretty good start for Parkinson's month! > > Do you agree with me that being busy is the absolute best way to > deal with day to day Parkinson's?? >
