Dear Attorney General Reno,
 
I wish you the very best in your new phase of life with Parkinson's.  I
know it may be difficult at times, but try and keep your spirits up!
 
I offer you some of my poetic verse to assist you in your future:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the real adventure is putting on your socks
 
(the following poem is a humorous
look at the difficulties one experiences
with an everyday activity when
Parkinson's Disease is present)
 
the real adventure is putting on your socks,
it's difficult to do early in the morning.
your eyes, they don't focus,
your fingers, they don't pinch,
your toes, they don't wiggle.
I sometimes sleep in my socks,
I'm not always in the mood for adventure.
