Posted Lucky January “13”th Hi all! I trust you had a splendid weekend, finalizing the clearing out of your Christmas goods and getting back into the grind of everyday life? As I alluded to without getting too specific (to protect my family while I was gone), I traveled all week, last week to Las Vegas,…

Travel Day
I am stuck at an airport in which my data is spotty and I, in Information Technologies, would never trust public wifi. I am not going to be able to post today besides asking you to pray I land ok. There is a 100% chance of storms. I am not afraid of flying at all,…
Wrestling With Dementia
Posted 1-9-20 Not much to report and I am still pretty much out of pocket today. Mom had a great day yesterday again. Who knows how long this good streak will last, but I am thankful for it. Having mixed dementia, she may level off for a while, then a vascular issue may cause a…
The Purple Letter
Posted 1-8-20 Hi all! This week will be full of short articles due to some work stuff that I need to accomplish. Next week you will get payback. 🙂 That is a promise and a threat. 😉 I was just thinking yesterday about stigma. I have mentioned it before, bot it is always present… Normally…
Homework Assignment
Posted 1-7-20 Times are good, all things considered. This hasn’t always been so. Your homework…your mission should you choose to accept it…it to rewind to the early pages of the Digital Cornbread blogroll. Here is one example, but read a few of the oldies and we will discuss tomorrow. I need to short-change you a…

Spinning Disks, Little Stuffed Bears and Velcro
Posted 1-3-20 Just a quick thought today for your consideration. Isn’t it interesting how what is important changes over time? Mom loves her fidget blanket! While I don’t presume to know exactly what is going on in her beautiful and precious mind, watching her play with her blanket demonstrates that she especially likes the simplicity…
Puzzled: Ways a Puzzle Reminds Me of Dementia
Posted 1-2-20 …that seems weird to type. My family, especially my oldest and I, love puzzles. There is something visually-pleasing about transforming a huge pile of colored blobs into a cohesive picture, then tearing it down again. Here is my daughter’s Christmas puzzle: Dementia is a puzzle too. Here is how: As best we understand…
Rose-Colored Glasses on the Face of Mr. Blur
Posted the first day of 20/20 I hate glasses at least as much as Oprah loves bread. I don’t hate glasses on others, mind you…just on me. I like what they do. They make my friends and my family and Velma and, most importantly, my wife see. Glasses add distinction to the smart, edginess to…
2019: A Year in Review
Posted the last day of 2019 Thank you for another couple holidays away from writing. 🙂 I absolutely love to write, but I dislike writing in a time that is crazy busy, as in holidays, because I have much higher standards for myself than it would appear by the deliverable. 😉 The next two days…
