No Synchronous Fireflies for Us this Year

We got an email notification that we did not receive a lottery pass for viewing the synchronous fireflies. Maybe next year. Maybe not.

That brings me to an update about my Parkinsonism. The tremors, resting and intention, have spread to all 4 limbs and my jaw. I have lost proprioception with the tremor spread. We bought a cycling machine for me and I use it for 30 minutes a day but so far it has had no noticeable positive effect. As to travel, I am struggling enough now with daily self-maintenance that we allowed our $500 deposit credit from last year's canceled American Cruise Line fall foliage Hudson River Cruise to lapse. I think we both thought between COVID-19 insecurity yet and my continued decline that it was a bad idea to try again this fall. We are talking about a long road trip to New England this fall instead, but only thinking and talking. It has the advantage of being flexible and avoiding close quarters. We'll see.
