Long Time...

no post. Actually it has been a long time since I did any training/riding of significance at all. I plan to change all that soon.

I felt compelled to post today because of a sad but funny meeting we had today. We are working for a series of retirement communities. They are lovely, filled with caring, happy people. One part of our tour was to the Assisted Living units, specifically people with memory problems, like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Terrible, terrible illnesses.

In one living room setting were about a dozen elderly ladies listening to vintage music. Very bucolic. Later on the trip home, one of my team asked "Why were they listening to that old music?" We explained that it took them back to a time they could remember and that they lived that life now.

The funny part? When I'm that age I will be sitting with a bunch of other old folks listening to the Violent Femms and The Ramone's.

Gabba Gabba Hey!
