I have copied the following post from someone I know whose father just passed away this week from Alzheimer’s disease.  My grandmother also passed away from this horrible disease and I am always fearful of it striking our family again.  If you are interested in donating any amount of money to this cause, please visit [...]

Casino Night

Last Friday night Kelly and I went out together at night for the first time in two years.  My mother and step-father “nanny and papa” watched the girls.  It was a big deal for both “mommy and daddy” to be gone at bedtime.  However, the girls went to sleep without any problems.  In fact, when [...]
