Book Launch Review and Surprise Gift
Tuesday December 10, 2019
Hello,
I am excited! I have a special gift for you, readers of this blog.
But before I tell you about that, let me tell you about the book launch celebrations.
The last I wrote I said that I hoped to update you on Saturday about the book launch and how it went. That didn't happen on Saturday. I am feeling a mixture of accomplishment and freedom from deadlines.

2-Days to Book Launch - The Journey Continues - Alzheimers
December 2, 2019
Hi,
Wow, can you believe it! Only two days to launch!
So the call... an older man called me last night to wish me Happy Thanksgiving. It was obvious he was nervous and ... interested in not being alone... shall I say. He has never called me before and I have noticed him looking at me with interest.
Gosh, here is the dilemma. I am documenting my on-going journey and

Count Down to Book Launch - Day 4 - Persistence or Insanity?
November 30, 2019
Good Morning!
Yesterday I was going to ride down to feed the goats, but I felt low in energy. So I got as far as Floral City and decided to go feed the Zebra and Donkeys instead.
I have been wondering lately why I am doing this. I spend a lot of time trying to promote the book. And the needle isn't moving much at all. I feel like a dung beetle pushing a big ball

Preventing Alzheimer's
A fellow former caregiver told me this week that he thinks those who have cared for someone with dementia tend to worry more about getting the symptoms.
I don't know if that is true, but I was comforted by an article I read recently.
The Alzheimer's Association put out a magazine this fall that has a great article in about genetic testing. In the

Unfocused, Unqualified, Unsatified
Hello,
It is often said that to achieve great things, you need to focus your energy on one thing. You can't spread your energy over many many things or you won't excel at anything.
I guess I am programmed to be mediocre. Ha ha.
I kind of timed things wrong. You see the audio version of Alzheimer's Trippin' with George has just been launched. With that launch is the task of writing and
