Posted 2-24-20 Are you into scary movies? I had a prolonged scary movie phase when I was in high school. My stepsister and I used to search out the most heinously stupid scary movie we could find and flop on the couch and soak/laugh it in. I am not confident that this is a super…

HIPAA, My Dream Christmas Present?
Posted 2-20-20 Pre-article note: I really like the date today! 02/20/2020. The lucky number for the day? 20…or maybe 02/20/2020/202020 in just (sort of) keeping with the pattern?!?! But I digress. Wait…can you digress before you have really said anything from whence to digress? Oh, forget it…off we go! I trust that all of my…
The Key to the Keys
Posted 2-19-20 Howdy, all! I am in transit to a long training today and am short of time, so just one quick thought. (“Quick”…tongue and cheek) What on Earth do you do when a loved one is just showing signs of dementia…but insists on driving? This has come up recently a couple times and I…

Probably Right Under My Nose All Along
Posted Valentine’s Day, 2020 Sometimes my vision isn’t 20/20. Even when it appears that way, I often find out that the item was right under my nose. Such is the news yesterday: https://www.kspr.com/content/news/Bolivar-Mo-clinic-finds-itself-at-center-of-Alzheimers-research-567842631.html I have been applying far and near to clinical studies and, all be darned if there isn’t one about 20 blocks from…
In a State of Flux
Posted 2-13-20 I realized I have mentioned the movie 1917 before, but I want to recommend it again now. The entire two+ hour movie was filmed in 2 takes!!! The camera went everywhere, in real time, and told a simple but profound story flawlessly. Amazing! As momma might say, “this video ain’t that”. However, it…
Frogs Don’t Soup Well

Some Bullets For Your Pocket
Posted 2-11-20 Mom and I dig watching The Andy Griffith Show when I visit. It hasn’t always been this way. We used to go for walks, sit on the couch and visit or sometimes just sit around by the piano and have a howler monkey jam session. (Mom plays almost pretty enough to drown out…
