(Semi-)Shawshank Re: Dementia Day 490 (1 Year, 125 days): Tliug Isn’t a Klingon Swear Word
Posted after vacation on 7/16/21 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in. Genesis 7:16 Just flew back to my desk and boy are my arms tired! OK…I drove, but that seems like the standard dad joke fitting for the first day back…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 436 (1 Year, 71 days): Rainy Days on Vacay
Posted 5/21/21 For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths. –Proverbs 5:21 I am still on our rainy vacation and am away from my ability to write a long-form post here. I really needed some time like this to cool my jets. Tomorrow, rain or shine, I…

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomoto
Posted 6-20-19 It is a crazy day in the Applegate world, but I had one little thought relating to words. Some may say “You say tomato, I say tomoto” to this, but it is a pet peeve of mine now and it wasn’t before my mom’s decline with this disease. The word at question?: “Old…
Baldknobbers Revisited
Posted 6-18-19 As I mentioned over the winter, one of my favorite rides at Silver Dollar City is and will always be Fire in The Hole! (Pronounced “fi·urrrrrrrr” + “in”+”thuuuhhhh”+ “Hooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhllll!!!”(with a long O). When you ride the ride, this pronunciation will make complete sense. Last weekend, while I was unable to ride the ride,…
Fun, Familiar Times at the City
Posted 6-17-19 Expect a lot of references to Silver Dollar City, one of my truly favorite places on Earth, in this week’s Digital Cornbread snacks. I was treated with a trip to the park Saturday and spent the day having fun while lamenting that mom couldn’t be there with us all the while. Pete and…
Mom, the Accidental Soldier
Posted 4-23-19 Mom has always admired and appreciated members of the military. I would say she is a pretty patriotic lady and raised us to love and honor the military too. We celebrated July 4th in a festive, pro-USA kinda way every year in our childhood, although we were pretty violent with the fireworks at…
