Re: A Friendly Correction for those Man-Haters who Delve to be Single

I just posted a couple of songs on my FB page by a friend of mine. I think she's incredible, but I'd love input to send back to her. If anyone likes them, I have a couple more.

That's kind of what I figured. Wish I could be there, instead of traveling to California to drive my mom and Alzheimer's-ridden dad back to Portland. Road trip! From hell!

I don't know if your dad has had Alzheimer's for long, but I have a friend who has been going through it with her husband. She has a ton of resources if this is new. Either way, I'm sorry.

Thanks. We're a couple of years in (though mom didn't tell sister and I until about 6 months ago, leaving us with a year or so of looking for non-worst-case-scenario explanations for what was going on). It has accelerated quite a bit over the last few months. Bright side: I've got full access to Oregon medical cannabis dispensaries. If we'd started sooner, there is some research suggesting it could have helped slow (or even reverse) progress. Now, at least, concentrated hash oil helps with sleep.

The beginning of the end

charting how our advanced ages have affected the boards:

Then: Tits, bonuses, drinking,

Now: prostate, alzheimer's

My mom had a long bout with Alzheimer's before she passed 5 years ago. I tell you her kicking the booze into high gear the 10 years before certainly didn't help.

To my credit, this started with a post about Mos Def and Bad Brains.

And weeeeeeeeeed!

A few months back, we had a discussion about Wonk's man-tits. So, we're still talking about tits, but this may only reinforce your point.

Whatever gets the BB catalog some much deserved attention (and remastering), can only be good.

I against I never gets old. But its sound quality certainly does.

I'm glad to hear he's at least resting better. I'll put him on my list, for next time I speak with Orson (my form of prayer tends to be conversational.)

We still like tits and bonuses. Some of us may have had to cut back a bit on the drinking, but I'm still up for a martini (or a manhattan, NB and B&B) any time someone comes to town.

The other shit we talk about now, that's just all y'all young punks catching up with me. Smoke a joint, Put Wall Street in your Blu-Ray and settle back in your comfy leather chair. We'll all get through it, until we don't. Don't make me get all Circle Game on your ass.

Wonk no longer has man-tits. He had a radical Manstectomy and he's almost as taut as a drum. If the rest of the guys are willing, I'll TMMBD II, Magic Mike Version.
