I had a bow and arrows.

So that’s the before picture? Was the after picture next to the steaks and burgers?

No the after picture is me pouring sweat after I called the rancher and told him two cows were loose and we chased them for 2 hours back into an open gate.

I'm too old for that shit.

Is your life a bad cop movie now?

Glover was a good cop. And it was a great movie.

Rough week for me last week. My dad died on the 5th. I feel more relieved than sad because the past year or so, he was living without dignity in a memory care facility. He had dementia as a long-term effect of full brain radiation in 2007, and pandemic isolation really kicked it into high gear. If not for that, his deterioration would have been more gradual, perhaps another 5 years. Luckily, the entire family was there- my mom, my sister, both of our spouses, and my foster baby. I'm fortunate to have been there, and so was my sister since she lives on the other coast.

That sucks and it’s good to see you have some perspective and family support. My mother in law is sliding into dementia and it is sad to watch. Thanks for trusting us with that and hopefully we can provide a bit of distraction for you here. Hang in there.

The worst part is that he was still aware of what was going on to a degree. Like, he knew where he was, he always knew who his friends and family were, etc. But he spoke less and did less. Kind of a worst of all worlds situation.

Luckily, I have family to keep me grounded. Foster parenting has made me feel more at peace with the world around me, like I have a purpose.
