I'd love to meet for coffee or tea, Kristoff!

When I had trouble thinking up new topics, I realized that it was time to end this thread. A while ago, I went back to the start of the “

Yesterday, I had the test to distinguish Parkinson's Disease (PD) from Essential Tremor (which has been diagnosed for some years now, anyway.) The good news is I don't have PD.
