I wanted to share a good infographic produced by Lundbeck, one of the pharmaceutical companies working on treatments for Huntington’s Disease. I am not sure what the log has to do with it. Read more →

Which Came First: the Chicken or the Dryer?
CAREGIVING: On Wednesday I received a call that the new clothes dryer would be delivered between 3 and 7 pm. The excitement was building. The laundry was building. Kathy’s clothes and bed pads were hanging all over the place trying to dry. Around 4 pm in the afternoon I received another robo-call saying the truck should be there in 20… Read more →
Friday: I can’t complain
