    On an Adventure

    My Rhine Cruise adventure got off with a bang. FLight from Orlando to JFK in New York was delayed for three hours so we finally left about 2pm. I settled back, got a beer, then relaxed as I had a few hour layover at JFK before my flight to Zurich. Fast forward to 2am sitting in Boston after...

    Friends

    I am crabby tonight. My husband is in pretty decent shape. A year out from diagnosis, he still walks with a can and can drive. I think that a walker and no more driving are coming up, I am encouraging these things now gently. Still we are I know fortunate. At a time when some PALS have already...

    A work trip combined with a mini vacation

    I was in California for the week. I had to go for a work meeting. I flew from Burbank and met my best friend in San Francisco for a three day mini trip. It was a great trip. We visited Muir Woods, Alcatraz, took a catamaran trip around the bay, visited the wharf, and rented a car to drive...

If it isn't something at work, it' something with my PALS or something with the care facility. Thankfully the home front is relatively calm, only my...
