pedestrian textin n walkin, wedding journey, mulch not dirt, sage

PEDESTRIAN TEXTIN N WALKIN
from an ap story about texting and walking
can chew gum and walk without causing problems but
texting and walking can be a problem

some examples
two women texting and walking their babies in baby
strollers ran right into each other-head on collision
luckily no harm done

a women was texting the birthdate of someone to a friend
who had texted her    
she was in another city  and walked into a water fountain    
it was caught on video and is now on youtube    
got several million hits     shes suing    thats american

another lady was texting and walked in front of a oncoming
taxi  
luckily she did not get hit

the reporter observed that 1 in 10 pedestrians were walking
and texting

then there was a panhandler who was sitting and texting while
seeking donations    
now that aint right

now dont text and drive (always thought that was supid but will
admit have done it before) and now dont text and walk

WEDDING JOURNEY
my son he and his fiance she are on their way on their journey
(go to google to the right and type in wedding journey to
know more)
they are on schedule
they only have a few months to go
am told will have to wear tux
blue jeans boots and string tie wont do

MULCH NOT DIRT
a recent article about granger texas returning to normal after
making true grit scenes there    
the dirt streets seen in the movie are the streets in granger
but with mulch scattered over the streets to look like dirt

man sure could have used some of that in my compost pile
wonder if it was cedar

SAGE
if you think you could have alzheimers or mild cognitive impairment
you should go to this web site www.sagetest.osu.edu

this is a test developed by ohio state university department of
neurology  division of cognitive neurology

this is a self administered test that you can do on yourself or
friend or relative    
there are instructions on scoring the test

if you or they dont score well then you should see a physician
for further evaluation

my diagnosis is early mild cognitve impairment
i took the test this am and got everything correct
however when was given a 2 hour neuropsychological exam i
failed the part on short term memory (it was a more involved testing)

because i had a normal evaluation 15 months ago and then had
the abnormal one recently plus the fact ive noted subtle changes plus
my strong family history of alzheimers got me to where i am now-
retired and on aricept (donnepezil)

jeff bridges, bucket list, alzheimers cost, thanks,football

JEFF BRIDGES
those of you who saw true grit know that jeff bridges was
and is a great actor
did not realize he was in the last picture show

watched a pbs  american masters episode this week  titled
'jeff bridges:the dude abides education.  the life and career of
academy award-winning actor jeff bridges0
very interesting show
a close relative is a friend of his
he is in person like what is displayed in the pbs show
have more respect for him now as a person and an actor
try to see it on your local pbs station

again he should get the academy award for the movie true grits


BUCKET LIST
ive created a bucket list to do while i know im
doing it
one is a trip down hwy one in california-am in
planning mode now for that trip

for my sisterinlaw she with the wet suitcase
(google that to the right and read about her wet suitcase)
my next item on my bucket list will require a passport

always told my wife she that i would travel anywhere
she wants as long as it doesnt require a passport
my life changes (eg my new diagnosis) makes me have a
new perspective on things

foreign country here we come
