Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 90: 6/10/90 and Life’s Vicissitudes
Posted on what would have been my 30 year anniversary…keep reading 😉 Hi all. I have mentioned many times how much I am amazed by numbers. Today is the quintessential proof. The New England OCD Institute has this to say about people who dig numbers perhaps just a little more than I do: “Compulsive counting…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 53: Gimme 5!
Posted 5-5-20 Happy Tuesday, all! Happy Cinco de Mayo too! It is also Giving Tuesday, a day set aside for people to give to organizations that they appreciate. I very seldom ask for money for our agency (and I would never ask for it for me), but if you feel compelled to give, here is…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 45: Is He Going to Stop at # 427? Nope.
Posted 4/27/20 Hi ho, merry old souls! Happy Monday, 4/27 to you!

Posted 4/23/20 We go marching on this fine Thursday, amongst the madness of today’s life and within the confines of my little series on numbers banging around in my head. 🙂 Today, my Number Du Jour is 4/23, or Gregorian calendar’s very own April 23rd. I shall reduce said date to its simplest format: 423….
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 40 Days and 40 Nights: A ReRun
Posted 4-22-20 Since we have been on the topic of numbers for a few days and since the pandemic is wearing me out time-wise…and since over 6,000 folks have joined in the last several months, I propose to you the following reruns, both number-oriented: and Update: Mom is still the same. I have another Facetime…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 39: (19)84
Posted 4*21/2020 Did I mention I was a numbers guy? Oh yes…the last 3 posts (Link Link Link ) were little spins on numbers. Why not call it a series and do it again today??? I have never been one to worry about beating dead horses, so why not? Did you notice that if you…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 34: Numbered Among Friends
Posted 4+16=20 We all have our little hangups. You know them when you see them. They are those quaint things that make us different than the 7.58 billion like us (or not). Some call them quirks or idiosyncrasies, but I just prefer to think of them more as what makes us special to each other and…
