I love Rutgers Football and TIVO. I love Rutgers because of Saturday afternoon's 52-30 International Bowl victory over Ball State.

Dad is going to "volunteer" at the Adult Day Center again today. Katie (CNA) is really tired at work because little Timmy is teething and she is not getting much sleep.

The first ball fell in New York's Times Square to celebrate New Year's Day in 1908. My Dad, whos has Alzheimer's remembered that fact. I looked it up. Good for you Dad! Hang on neurons! Hang on!

Dad takes 16 pills a day. Some for Alzheimer's, some for his heart failure, some for his hypertension and high blood pressure. He takes 13 in the morning and 3 at night. In the morning, I always have to ask him to remove the potassium pill (it is so big, it could choke a horse) and […]

Katie (CNA) is coming over for a few hours today to give David and I a chance to spend some time alone together. One of the things we will do is go to Costco. For those of you who don't know, Costco is one of those members-only warehouse club stores, like Sam's Club. I cannot […]

David and I were talking about some ladies in their eighties last night, and David referred to them as "old ladies". Dad replied, "That is not old. Haven't you heard? Eighty is the new seventy."

Dad kept asking if he got presents for my sisters and Jessica for Christmas. As you know, sometimes that same old question sticks and it repeats over and over. I decided to write Thank You notes from Jessica and my sisters and put them next to the newspaper where Dad spends a lot of his day. They […]

Dad got up to go to the bathroom around 7:30 this morning. David and I wished him a Merry Christmas, and he asked, "Is this Christmas?" "Yes", David replied. "If Santa comes by, tell him to come back after lunch. I'm going back to bed!" Merry Christmas From Your KnowItAlz Family!
