Life in Dad Land - tales of dementia from the inside

Dad is in his 80s, has a non-Alzheimer's dementia, and is otherwise healthy. He's been living with me since early 2020.

Various tales include whatever his current obsession is, such as A Door Into Summer, No Spiders!, and Why Can't I?

‘Tis the season for murdering paintings!

Part of my annual process. Keeping this artist from feeling too precious about the work. Destroying the old, making way for the new. I have big plans for this one!

Mike spends a lot of time and money caring for the feral cats - vet bills, food bills, litter, shelter, enrichment, all costly items.

Give him a well deserved bit of help!
My gofundme to feed the feral cats is still active. I've just used up the last of the funds raised. I could really use a little more help on this or maybe buy something from the Amazon wish list pinned to my profile.

1st Thanksgiving is this Sunday - a day when all the family who will be traveling can gather.
2nd Thanksgiving will be next Friday, a quiet meal with dad and fiance.
2 weeks of leftovers - I am psyched!
So are the dogs.

Walking to #PAXU and walked past this cool mural. This is why I love Philly!

The only way anyone knew what happened to Khashoggi & who murdered & dismembered him was because Turkey had bugged the consulate. His murder was recorded on audio.

my body a struck match

Interesting read. Just one bank. Lots of questions.
He did name names. You're too lazy to read the article which links to the report, with names.
