With all the talk about brain stimulation to reduce the risk of dementia, I think going back to college would give you a pretty good mental workout.
But, I’m guessing not many people have the time or the money to go back.
Enter One Day University, a day long seminar that brings the best Ivy League professors […]
Jane Issy, a popular New York book editor has written her own book, Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents.
Though I’ve not had a chance to read it, it has good reviews, and, there is a USA Today interview with Jane Issy about her book, and, her insights.

Today is/would have been (what is the proper terminology, here?) my mother’s 72nd birthday.
Don’t know if it’s necessary anymore, but, if it’s customary, I hope they throw a decent party for her in Heaven.
It’s one of those first year after death milestones. So far, though it’s obviously on my mind, it hasn’t been too bad, […]

They are discovering news ways to enjoy themselves, and, get a little exercise.
However, I have a big question about the whole thing:

I expect my star on the Sandwich Generation Walk of Fame any day now.
My uncle’s burial service was today. It went very nicely, except for the fact that we were late.
I HUH-AY-T, with a capital “ait”, being late for […]
I’ve been a bit introspective lately, what with my uncle’s death, the arrival of Spring, and, my mother’s birthday next week.

It was about this time, or, maybe just a little later, that it became […]

Leeza’s Place, started by celebrity (she’s almost 50, can you believe it?), and, Dancing With the Stars contestant, Leeza Gibbons, is a “source of information, strength and purpose for people affected by memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s.
Leeza’s own mother was struck by Alzheimer’s Disease, and, as a result, she formed the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation […]
I stopped to pick up some dinner on the way home this evening. I was perusing the salad bar, when I noticed a very elderly, stooped over, frail gentleman.
We approached the soup area of the salad bar, at the same time, so I let him go first. I watched carefully, thinking that someone would come […]
