Posted 4-5-19 My stunningly beautiful bride and I have more than a few traditions as a couple. Caricatures and cup lids come to mind as I think through our little topic. Caricatures: We have had at least one caricature drawn of us in each of our three decades of marriage. A caricature exaggerates the real…

Taking Stock of Broken Clocks
Posted 4-5-19 When I was a toddler, I was something of a prodigy. I wasn’t super cute nor was I particularly brainy. No, my IQ was normal, if slightly (?) south of such. I wasn’t a prodigy of a useful subject like math, science or piano, mind you. I couldn’t work on computers… because they…
Points to Ponder from the Online Course
Posted 4-4-19 I took a 15 minute break at work from working on a computer to look at the next module in the online course I mentioned yesterday and it brought up some excellent points. If you still need it, here is the link to the (outstanding) course. This is a reflection section from Module…
Squeeze Inn, and the Medicines of Alzheimer’s
Posted 4-4-19 Hi all! Thanks for returning to the digital cornbread table. 🙂 Today’s topic du jour is, go figure, Alzheimer’s and brain meds. Never to be one to overly mind beating metaphorically dead horses, we need to revisit this discussion since you will certainly battle this should you journey with your loved one toward…
I em A Kollage Stoodunt
Posted 4-3-19 I love education. I realize my writing style doesn’t point you into seeing me as scream out that I am a particularly smart fella, but I have spent some time…perhaps too much time…in the ol’ university. Fun Fact: I have attended college in 4 different decades (The 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s). That…
Don’t Forget the Links
Just a reminder that I embed the links to other articles I find interesting in my articles. If I do an “affiliate” article (one my non-profit gets $ for clicking or buying from), I will tell you, although the closest thing I do to that right now is share smile.amazon.com links every once in a…
Wabi Sabi is Not Even a Little Bit Jedi
Posted 4-2-19 I am about as far from being a Buddhist or eastern religion practitioner as Mr. T was from being a jet pilot or perhaps as a vegetarian would be from writing a cookbook on barbecuing hamsters. That being said, there are a lot of “nuggets” of common sense to be mined from this…
The Help is No Joke
Posted 4-1-19 aka April Fool’s Day Being the baby (of 3) Applegate child, I was an interesting little fireball. I was what the child psychologists would have called at the time, “hyperactive”. Now, I am not an etymologist not am I an entomologist 😉 , but I am pretty sure the medical term “hyperactive” comes…
Church
Posted 3-31-19 Church is truly my “happy place”, but, as I mentioned a few days ago at the cornbread table, it is not because of the hyper-exuberance of the pastor, nor is it because of the lasers or the rocking band. It is my happy place because the Bible is opened up and I get…
Grandma’s Stories by Miranda, Her Granddaughter
There is some truth here and some imagination. 🙂 Circa 2011 I love it! 🙂 #EndALZ
