Here’s my loafers.

I’m still waiting to hear more about neuroplasticity.

Was pondering the grand scheme of this ability of the brain as it relates to my mother's early-onset Alzheimer's disease after I had left my folks' house yesterday. Also, contemplated my own future fate with the disease and the effects, if any, of my desire and practice of ever learning, always reading and doing to minimize or delay what seems inevitable.
 
Couple of things.... I was wondering what would the year 3000 would be like? would cancer be cured? would there be any more world wars? If I had the choice... If possible would I like to live for a 1000 more years

On a separate train of thought.... How are we going to recycle all this plastic in our landfills

It's rather warm this week. Maybe I should put up the Christmas lights...

Nooooooo. Far to early. Christmas shouldn’t even be mentioned until the 24th of December at the earliest.

Roll on the 26th of December!

Remember the old Greek cautionary tale of the surpassingly beautiful young man (Tithonus) who sought - and received - the gift of eternal life but omitted to request eternal youth as well, and thus.......aged eternally.

I feel for you. It is a truly devastating disease, for the patient, family, friends, and those who care for them. I watched it take someone from living life to the fullest to a husk of her former self. It was awful.

I too wonder if something like that is looming in my future, and what I would do about it if I realized that it was happening, or had happened.

Like yourself, I do what I can to keep the neurons firing, forming new pathways, and hopefully repairing damaged ones. In my case, it’s taken the better part of my life to fully appreciate the importance of doing that. Not just for avoiding problems, but for being more present in all that I do. Better late than never, I suppose.

Having spent much of the past decade responsible for ordering, organising, and managing the life of my mother - who, as some readers of these threads will know, suffered from dementia (the specialists thought that it may have been a mixture of vascular dementia - which was pronounced - and elements of Alzheimer's) - I empathise completely with your post and have some tea of what this particular journey details.

You have my sympathy and very best wishes.

I am sorry to read this and you have all my sympathy, like @Scepticalscribe I had a parent, my father, suffer from dementia (in his case a form of Parkinson's I was told). I remember watching a childhood friend's family go through that with the grandfather suffering from Alzheimer's some 25 years ago.
 
I started paternity leave today, which coincides quite nicely with Nanowrimo. He is currently taking his second nap for today, so I should be writing, but I tend to doodle around online instead, which is why I am posting this one.

Most of my thoughts are on a job interview tomorrow though.

Paternity leave and a job interview?

The very best of luck with them both.
