        Hey, Murray: If your order for a Mermaid comes through, let me
     know.  I would like to place one too!

        And,  Barb:   I  wish I didn't have to take all these pills (1
     Levoxyl, 4 Sinemet CR, 3 Benztropine, 2  Eldepryl,  9  Requip,  3
     Ginseng,  1  Solgar  VM-75  Multivitamin), and I haven't felt the
     need for a "drink" since I was a much younger man.   But,  anyway
     ...

        I  too  get enchanted by all that nature has to offer.  When I
     take a walk through a park -- even down a quiet  suburban  street
     --  I  always  try to notice the small, simple things: a tree and
     how it grows to be so straight and tall; the patterns in  a  leaf
     and  how  all  plant life lives in a wonderful symbioses with the
     human "animal;" the flowers and how they reach for and pull  part
     of their life from the sun; the little chipmunk who somehow knows
     to save some of what it gathers for  the  next  winter's  dearth.
     All  part  of some plan that I don't know a thing about but some-
     times wish I could talk to the original architect about.

        Now,  if  I  could only get my butt up off this chair and take
     that walk. :-) Oooops, I forgot, it's a bit past 4 a.m., Mountain
     time -- it's still a bit dark outside. :-0

        BTW, do I remember someone saying they wanted to discuss spir-
     ituality and Parkinson's?  Does anyone remember what Edgar  Cayce
     said about P.D.?  Are there any Theosophists on-list? ... Panthe-
     ists?

        Well, enough rambling for this morning.  Have a great Father's
     Day, all.  I'm spending mine in a hotel room in Salt  Lake  City.
     ;-)  Take care and try to always grok in fullness ...
                  ()
