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 […]

Had a really nice visit with my mom before Shea and I leave for Mexico (twice in one winter?!? What???) tomorrow. Off to Puerto Vallarta for a week and it’s a long story but we got a good deal and have been thinking a lot about how all four of our parents quit traveling earlier […]

Secular Sunday – Grifting, I Mean, Grieving Widow?

Charlie Kirk’s wife husband was violently assassinated three months ago. I’m pretty hard on religion and a lot of people are saying her “grieving” isn’t appropriate. But if I’m being completely honest, if she’s truly a hardcore Christian Evangelical, I’m guessing that there’s nothing deeper here (literally) than her thinking that her husband dying was […]
