Bipolar Affective Disorder

Manic depression's a frustrating mess!! JH

I just watched a 2007 NFB production, Flight from Darkness. It;s about a man from northern Saskatchewan, Percy Paul, who is a brilliant theoretical physicist and a sufferer of Bipolar. It hit me very close to home and it helps to know that other people suffer too. It's helped me to accept my diagnosis and to be patient with my own trials and tribulations.

Now, as is my predilection, my own type of mania, I will do some more research on Mr. Paul and the film producers.

you're my obsession

I went through another phase in august & september of indulging my aviation obession. Did ground school at the local flight academy but I failed my medical (this hidden blessing has saved me the $10k required to get Private Pilots Licence (PPL)). Made up for it by studying boeing & Airbus & DHC fleets and by general readings in air tranwsport and general aviation. Navigation was one of my foci.
Now I'm hooked on subways: started with TTC & has inevitably moved onto MTA. This has rekindled my interest in NYC and I've been doing some more reading (more like endless perusing of photos and maps). I have to get there at some point!
