It isn't because I have Parkinson's disease that I have ended reporting on online chess my experience with online chess was based on my interest in Yahoo and their game they offered in chess online where in my mind and most others we were playing others but Yahoo reported that such a game they offered in chess online had become obsolete. Thus my reporting on chess also ended. Yes it is my understanding that Parkinson's is progressive but still as far as I am concerned I have the disease under control. You my reader might think otherwise but like Ronn Owens who most recently in just days ago announced he has had the disease as well but decided to go public with it since he felt as he has stated that Robin Williams ended his life as we all know in part because he had an early diagnose of Parkinson's disease plus the fact that he was being treated for other ailments of which I am not qualified to mention. In my blogs I have not made my disease a major issue because in part a person with Parkinson's can live a life near normal if treated for this disease as I have learned off the internet and as Ronn Owen's has publicly stated unless I am mistaken. I do not speak for Ron Owens but read him as any other one of his fans would do. A medically trained expert can tell or guess correctly that I have Parkinson's but mostly anyone unaware cannot tell. Therefore I have not made it a major issue and I am not known I am not a celebrity do not want to be one and make no predictions of being one. But I have written this blog and the public at large have never heard of me. Better standards of treatment for this disease as well as treatments for other diseases are under way despite the fact that Parkinson disease is a progressive disease. There is no cure as what is stated as fact. Check it out. Nevertheless it is a very serious illness and it cannot be taken lightly just look how long Ronn Owens had had it but the generally public at large had not a clue. I didn't. And I have had this disease for as long as Ronn Owens has had it. Thus far I am quite capable of doing many things while other activities I cannot do due to the crippling effects or results of this diagnosis of moderate Parkinson's disease. I
still enjoy making public comments about certain topics of discussion and as far as my concerns at large my judgement should not be impaired but that is for the listener to decide when a caller calls up on KGO radio news talk to offer an opinion or understanding of say a news event. My neighbor next door
already had me identified when he recognized my voice when speaking with John McEnroe the famous
tennis player even though I gave only my first name. But you don't know me….or do you? Nerves Galore or this blog will not report on chess but my blog will explore the news as I have seen it and have been commenting on in public for years but for the most part remain nameless. My interest in the news will never end. And besides Marty Nemko a genius formally of KGO gave me his blessing to do what I am prepared to do in blog form. Am I capable?
