Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

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

One good thing about being an obsessive journal keeper since right around the time I graduated high school (and that those journals, started in WordPerfect, have now all been digitized and are completely searchable.) So that’s how I know that the very first reference I made to my mom showing signs of dementia was in […]
