Re: [epilepsy] Re: Tiger Woods

 

(Getting on topic again) I've told the story a bunch of times about how I
drove back from work after having a complex partial there. I suspect both of
us have foci in the right hemisphere if we keep getting lost. Getting lost
on the way back from work when you've had the job for three years is
indicative of a problem in the right side. But I obeyed all traffic laws and
didn't hit anyone or run any lights. I impress myself a lot.

I blew out a bike tire a few months ago after rolling upside down. I felt so
miserable on the way home I kept getting back on it and riding on the rim.
It really blows (ha) that you have to risk death on a bike to get anywhere,
once they yank your license. When I have the money I'm going to get a
recumbent tricycle. I'll have three wheels and I'll be closer to the ground.
There's some guy around here who has one- he's the only one. Everyone in
Silicon Valley says they've seen that guy and that recumbent bike thing he's
riding around on. I guess I'll be famous too.
