Another Bush screw up and this time its personal!

I’m frustrated by Bush’s decision to veto stem cell research. My father suffers from Parkinson’s and just can’t help think that stem research will significantly help in the pursuit of finding a cure. I’m no expert, but judging by those in the know, this is a real mistake.

I was glad to see a video on YouTube by Michael J. Fox, famous actor and Parkinsons sufferer, venting his fustration on US TV.

Another article on the matter.

Pictures of my new baby will follow… needless to say all I can currently think of is riding it as much as possible!!

Passed my theory ;)

I’ve now passed my theory too. Woohoo! Only a few lessons and then the actual test to go (hopefully). Still wondering how I’m going to finance this new hobby. I may wait until next year to buy a bike… but I not sure how I’ll survive. I’m itching to get on the road :)

Passed my CBT!

Liz arranged for me to do my CBT (Cumpulsory Basic Training, Not Cognitive Behavioural Therapy :) ) for my birthday. I can honestly say I loved it. I’m already working out which bike I’m going to buy… sofar I like the idea of a Honda CBR600 or a Kawasaki Ninja.
