Isolated vocal track of Kurt Cotain singing Leadbelly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” at MTV Unplugged featuring possibly the most pained scream ever captured on tape. (Apparently Nirvana was hoping to do an album like REM’s “Automatic For The People” but after Cobain killed himself, the MTV Unplugged album is the closest we’d get.) […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – That Old Black Gold
My mom’s sister comes to visit once a year for a month (and twice a year since my mom’s dementia has become worse). This trip she brought a thumb drive with a whole bunch of scanned photos including pics of her trips over the years, pics of my parents, sister & I over the years […]
Wisdom Wednesday – Fixing The Exit Interview

I didn’t post this on Mother’s Day so I’ll post it on Father’s Day instead – a woman sneaks into a right-wing mother’s group on FB and starts posting about ICE and children being separated from their families. https://www.threads.com/@theletsnotdate/post/DYLoyAnjU_m
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 […]
