    Getting old sucks

    My dad and his dad passed from Alzheimer’s complications, and one of my uncles has it too. I’ve resigned myself that I’ll have it too if I live long enough. When he had prostate cancer treatment in the early 2000s, my dad filled out a values statement and said that if he ever got Alzheimer’s, he wanted to go out like an Eskimoβ€”just wander out into a blizzard and not come back. Similar sentiment which you are expressing. The last ten years of my dad’s life were intensely sweet and enriching to everyone around him. The love my mother showed him in caring for him was like nothing I could imagine. Young lovers sometimes say β€œI want to grow old with you,” but they don't have the faintest clue what that means. My mother and father lived it, a declining life of devotion to each other. Some of the best memories in my life are slow walks around the block with my shuffling dad in the last year. He wasn’t able to form sentences anymore but it was a period of intense love. He’d stop and look at every airplane and helicopter overhead. We shared that time, that space, and it was a gift. I’m eternally grateful for that season with him. It can be sweet, for you and especially for those around you. Accept it for what it is, and help others to do the same. There are things like diet, exercise (particularly strength training), and mental games (learning and playing music, learning a new language, doing crosswords and sudoku, etc.) that can help slow the decline.

  4. Great voiceover.
  5. Lotta pausing and zooming potential in this one.
  6. Also an illustration of the UT-TAMU relationship.
  7. I smiled bemusedly.

  10. No harm no foul. Baby bronco is parked on the side of an oversized spot. I guess the striper didn’t measure correctly and had extra space. The Ford is perfectly parked. The Audi isn’t hurting anything because of the goofy oversized spot.
  11. I’m sure this has been posted before (maybe by me), but I love it.
  12. This hits close to home. Actually looks quite a bit like 5-yo NNM. But we never had sugary cereal. Never tried Cap’n Crunch until I went to college. Then it was time to binge on Cap’n Crunch crunch berries. &nbsp
  13. 200? That dude’s pushing 260
  14. After having many different brands and styles of favorite pens over the decades, I just switched back to the OG Bic. Love it.

  16. As always, awesome analysis. But you missed the third person Le’Veon Moss. That’s the chef’s kiss.
