But isn’t Alzheimer’s day happening soon?   The jokes do write themselves, but I feel kinda bad about making them. My mom had severe Alzheimer’s and it was not in the least funny. ---

I’ve had friends whose parents have had Alzheimer’s and it was horrible for them. No family members so far. My friend Mike helped manage his dad’s situation. We’d be out having fun and his mom would call. Every few weeks his dad would “freeze up” and be unwilling to move. Mike would go over and struggle to carry/drag his dad to the bedroom upstairs. One night he managed to get him into his bed, then he went to the bathroom to wash his sweaty face. When he came downstairs to tell his mom goodbye, his dad was sitting on the couch. ---

My wife used to say I must have half-heimers. I wasn’t smart enough to have all-heimers. ---
