Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Garth Brooks in #YXE (June 2016)

Music Monday – “My therapist said not to see you no more/She said you’re like a disease without any cure/She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh no/Ah, you think you’re so pretty”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The First Signs of Dementia (February 2018)

It was during a family trip to Mexico in February 2018 that Shea and I had our first conversations about what appeared to maybe possibly be the smallest signs of dementia. Dementia is a “disease of omission” which means doctors have to basically rule out everything else that can present like dementia before they diagnose […]

Friday Forlorn Link – Rest In Power, Bruce.
