More stuff

I want to mention one of the most amazing things that happened in Valapariso at the Wizard of Oz Festival and that involves Judy Garland costumes from movies. Michael Siewart who owns the dresses and runs a website http://www.judygarland.net/ anyhow Michael was absollutely the biggest doll on the planet that has ever lived, as he took me behind the velvet ropes and let me handle Judy's costumes that he had on display. I sat most of the time crying at first, especially the very first touch and once we got talking about how these garments were made I think I taught Michael a thing or too about Haute Couture Construction and about the artistry that goes into making those dresses masterpieces besides memorabilia.

You have to love Techno every now and then and I adore this--anyone know how to copy this and put it ona CD so I could listen to it inthe car?



He was just full of knowledge about Judy, and so much fun and silliness that it made my first Oz Festival one of the very best experiences of my life. Who would have thought that this simple "gay boy" who was 2 1/2 years old when Judy died and who has lived the last 17 years with AIDS would ever be graced by being in the sheer presence of his biggest idol ever. Michael, if by chance you are reading this I can not beign to thank you enough from the depths of my heart for doing what you did for me, you may never know how very much it meant to me and will mean to me forever--I'll always love you for it!

Well Wednesday the neighbors finally had their tree removed from their home and it took about 9 guys five hours to do all the work. I took a lot of digital pictures that I have to send them yet.

Thursday night I have to say I fainted/fell again, right before going to bed, didn't hurt myself some minor bruising but nothing thankfully serious. I also have to say I fainted/fell today in the backyard. Of course the side without the bruing but again I guess I lucked out as no real damge to me, scared the dogs though when down I went.

The hand tremors seem to be lasting longer and I am trying my damnest to adjust but I have to admit it has been very emotionally trying for me. The tremors and loss of feeling seems worse in my right hand, and with me being right handed it is taking longer to do some things till the tremors and loss of feeling goes away. For the most part it is my pinkie finger, ring finger and middle finger on my right hand that are the worst which makes holding things at times very difficult. I am going to speak with my doctor next week about getting a second opinion or seeing a specialist.

I want to share so people know whatis going on and not necessarily complain about, I am trying to adjust as my HIV Specialist recommended but as I have said before and will continue saying it has been very hard emotionally for me to do so. I hope you will join me in praying about this matter and remember my friends I pray for all of you often.
