If You Were To Rush Into This Room Right Now And Announce That You Had Struck A Deal - With God, Allah, Buddha, Christ, Krishna, Bill Gates, Whomever - In Which The Ten Years Since My Diagnosis Could Be Magically Taken Away, Traded In For Ten More Years As The Person I Was Before - I Would, Without A Moment's Hesitation, Tell You To Take A Hike.

No, I Got A Ged In My 30s. My Kids Know That I Never Stop Learning, And They Know I Love Reading. I Have Books Overflowing Everywhere. I Am Current On Today's Events And I Read The Paper Every Day, And We Talk About It, So They See That Appetite.

I Think We All Get Our Own Bag Of Hammers. We All Get Our Own Parkinson's. We All Have Our Own Thing. I Think That We'll Look At It Through The Filter Of That Experience, And We'll Say, "yeah, I Need To Laugh At My Stuff, Too."

Do The Right Thing, And Then Do The Next Right Thing, And That Will Lead You To The Next Right Thing After That.
