Sunday rode 68 miles and raised almost $2300 in the #RidetoendALZ.
I did it so other families won't go through what ours did with my mom.
As I crossed the finish line, a man came up and thanked me, telling me he has the disease. I hugged him and said, "We're gonna find you a cure." Tears flowed.

Although my dad wasn't lost in battle, as a proud veteran who enlisted when he turned 18 to fight in the Pacific Theatre, and then again for the Korean war, during which he did serve stateside, I feel he deserves to be honored.
glad he isn't around to see everything we believed in being dismissed

My daughter, an academic physician, has been attending a conference for the last several days.
It's a shame these accomplished, well educated clinicians and researchers should have to spend their valuable time on this bullshit. But this is the world we live in.

Had the opportunity to attend a book signing with the uber talented, delightful, fifth generation Coloradan, Shelley Read.
She published her debut novel (at the age of 57), "Go as a river," a sometimes devastating, uplifting, historic novel set in the rugged beauty in and surrounding Iola, CO.

Doing what brings me joy keeps me energized. One recent addition has been pottery, my Monday night therapy.
Still a beginner, but learning. Already decided this latest piece, once completed, will hold guac. Because that too, brings me joy.
It's the little things.

Shared by my friend Steve on LinkedIn. He and his wife's, @cinder2320.bsky.social , small, always successful business, has lost two clients, due to the actions of the regimes. He shared this quote by FDR, which prophetically sums things up.
