Posted 12/27/21 Still on a brief vacation, celebrating one of the biggest events in human history. I hope to see you all Wednesday. Seeing mom shortly and hoping she is well and more awake that normal. She is in peace and not in pain that is apparent, so things could always be much worse. Keep…

(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…
Vacay until Friday
Posted 7/12/21 I will pick up where I left off on Friday. Taking a quick mini-vacay celebrating my 50th birthday. 🙂 We have successfully been allowed now to visit mom outside with proof of vaccination. Unfortunately things are very rough in the visitation world. Mom seldom opens her eyes not acknowledges our existence, but we…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 439 (1 Year, 74 days): Back in the Saddle as Best I Can Be
Posted 5/24/21 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. – Mark 5:24 (Ever noticed that Jesus was always busy, always surrounded…except when He could duck away for private prayer?) (Editor’s Note: This may be a re-run for my SeniorAge friends since I posted this piece on our intranet today. However,…

Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 434 (1 Year, 69 days): The Branson West Ghost Town of Dementia
Posted in an unnamed vacation day. I think it is Wednesday? 🙂 Just a couple of quick thoughts while on a morning run. If you haven’t seen this ghost town featured on TikTok, just a heads-up: It was a many million dollar subdivision that died mid-construction. It is really cool to see although it is…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 242: Tangled Vines
Posted 11/9/20 “Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.” –John 11:9 Hi all! Another Monday in paradise, I suppose. 🙂 I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was still spent recovering for…
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 76: Vacation
Posted on vacation 🙂 5/27/20 I am not here today through Friday. I am on semi-vacation from work and, while this blog isn’t work per se, it is good for me to take a few days off to refresh my melon. Please swing back to some old posts these next couple of days and comment…
Hiding in my Vacation
Posted 3-19-19 Just a quick note. 🙂 (I am still on vacation). When you are afforded a day off or a mini-vacation like I have been blessed with, try hard to focus on doing things that are memorable and are healthy. I am not your judge or your jury, but fight the temptation to drink…
