Bro-in-law Mike had his deep brain stimulation electrodes activated yesterday. The initial voltage is very low and in three weeks he will get an increase...steady as she goes.

It is said that fish and visitors go off after three days. Not so with Dick and Pam. Great stories and lots of laughs. I introduced them to Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby, a NZ TV show. Hilarious!
