This is the article I've read, which summarizes findings in the one Italian family. I gather that it's occurred in a couple other families, too, where it tended to be misdiagnosed as Cretuzfeld-Jakob "with thalamic involvement."

Did you know the thalamus had much to say about your circadian rhythm? I didn't.

Oh! Shelley Winters died.

That was a nice biography of her (and even had a photo from her in
The Poseidon Adventure!
). She was a woman and a half in all directions.
I agree, msbelle.
Ozzie just started snoring. I think it's nap time.
We came home to find a piece of american cheese on our driveway. Presumably deposited by the Frat Boys Next Door, who were grilling out (on this blustery and cold day). It's 20 feet throught a hedge to throw - were they lucky, or did they walk over to our diveway and place a piece of cheese for us to find? WTF?
My guess is that the cheese was trying to escape, but ran out of steam (what with the not having legs or any other very efficient means of propulsion.)
mr. flea attempted to throw it back at them. Cheese, especially in slice form, is hard to throw.
Aha! A clue in the "Who moved my cheese?" mystery!
ION, I would like to wrap my kid in duct tape and stick her to the wall today. Can we say "testing"? Paint on the wall, remote in the VCR, etc.
Maybe Casper moved your cheese?
Secret to flea:
You said lovely things in my lj last week and I wanted to thank you. But I don't have your e. So I am saying it here. And then probably deleting cause of the whole private thoughts, public board thing.
