Biography

Retired ad-man and illustrator. Still paints. My paintings can be seen by googling ‘Svein Bentsen + YouTube.’ Have a lot of books , covering the walls of four rooms. Nautica, Art, Economics and philosophy mainly. If you can log into Librarything you will find a list under the name Jahn.

I have had Parkinson for ten years. My symptoms are intermittent cramps in right foot, excessive salivation – particularly if I do not talk to anyone for some time, a tendency to overdo monotonous movement, like when brushing my teeth (I start swaying in time with the brushing), and if I forget my medication I do get drowsy. No tremors, I still drive, I still smell and taste, and I do not hallucinate.

I have been single for 20 years, a girl I loved left me after many years, and I found no replacement. These days I have no close family.
