Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 67: 1917, in Two Takes
Posted 5/18/20 Monday has arrived and I am at least as excited to see it as I was to see frost warnings after I planted my tomatoes. Regardless, if life gives you lemons, make some lemonade. If life gives you kale, though, you are on your own. 😉 My attempt at Kaleade wasn’t sweet enough…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 64: Mr. Applegate’s Brain Games: The Brain May not BE a Muscle, but it is Amazing!
Posted 5-15-20 Hi all! Happy Friday to you! Another rainy day in the Ozarks, but I have high hopes. Back to our topic of the week: the brain as a muscle. OK. The brain is NOT a muscle. It uses smooth muscle to help push through and out the bad stuff. If Beta Amyloids are…

Posted 5-15-20 Happy Thor’s Day! Let’s hammer this week home, what do ya say??? Things are starting to look up in the virus front. Folks are slowly but surely reopening and finding their niche in the new normal. Are things perfect? Even good? No…but they are getting better. In today’s “class”, we will discuss cognitive…

Posted 5-12-20 Hi all! Happy Tuesday to all! Kind of a cold, rainy day here in the Ozarks. The KY3 weather app today says rain with a high of 50 and a low of… 50. One thing they are sure of? It will be 50 today. 😉 That reminds me a little of choosing true…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 59: Graduation Week
Posted 5/11/20 Hi all! It was a really nice weekend. Got some stuff done Saturday. Binged through several episodes of Bones with my best girl. Then Sunday we celebrated my bride a little in the morning and the evening (I got her flowers and a cute ceramic birdbath), sandwiched around a trip to see mom…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 56: Verses with 5:8
Posted 5:8 Howdy all! The weekend is closer than the distance we are supposed to be standing at the Piggly Wiggly. Time is short and my sentences are long, so off we go. 🙂 Back to the number thing again one last time(??). Before I do this, a couple of editorial comments: The verse numbers…

Posted 5-7-20 Howdy all! The week is nearing conclusion, I think…. Where is the date on my darn phone??? Ahhh…ok, yes. We are at Thursday, close to be what used to be referred to as the weekend! Woot. The date, apparently, is May 7th. Since it is a slow day between series at the Cornbread…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 54: Mother’s Day, Coming Soon
Posted 5-6-20 Hi all! I hear robins and squirrels outside my home office window serenading me loudly this fine (early) morning. Thanks for sitting with me for a couple of minutes this morning. 🙂 Some days I wake very early and have a lot of time and others, like today, time is short. Today I…
