Now here's a little test for you to try: a few days ago, we were discussing freezing and related subjects and someone came in with quite a lot of what seemed to me to be rather far out claims, You and I gave him a rather rough ride, and he retired no doubt somewhat bruised. A few days ago, I found myself thinking about one of this person's claims: That it was easier to walk without freezing if you looked straight ahead and avoided looking down, so I thought I would try it during my half-hour of freezing after getting out of bed. (I get this if I have not had enough sleep the night before - blame the Internet). I have to report that it really does work! It's not a cure, but I am convinced that it has made a significant improvement. It is possible that its usefulness may fade after a few weeks, as happens with other tricks to fool our faltering brain, and I am a little worried that I may tread on my grandson, but I feel that I owe our unknown friend an apology.
