I suspect that my mother will have the opposite problem. She'll just slowly barricade herself in the house.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's a good idea, but I don't think my mother could deal with it!
...maybe you should just drink a lot?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
someone who had seen him on TV called 911
Oh, wow! I'm so glad the full alert worked! I'm never sure how these things turn out--I hope to never know again, because nothing like this need ever happen to anyone I know ever again, but still. Good job TV watcher! Good job TV alert! General good jobbing all around.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse, maybe something with GPS on it? It's probably impossible to get him to take an iPhone everywhere, but the technology certainly exists.

Our wings are not tired.
BTW, she did talk to EMS and found out exactly how and where they found him -- someone who had seen him on TV called 911.
Cool! Where did they locate him?
By the way, my tweets about your dad got 200+ plus retweets. It helped that I have a few key people with thousands of followers who were happy to retweet. The ways to get information out these days are kind of astounding and awesome.

So I saw the trailer for "Sharknado."
I think I'm gonna have to watch that movie.

This occurred to me the other day. If he's already wearing a med-alert bracelet, surely there's a way to attach a tracker of some sort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
...maybe you should just drink a lot?
That sounds about right.
And my mother had looked into GPS things, but thought they were too expensive. (And he can't carry anything, it would have to be the watch thing.) Anyway, I really think now not being alone is the key thing.
Where did they locate him?
Copley Square, basically. (Which, people keep saying how far that is, but I walked to my parents' when I lived near there! Not all the time, but it's not like a regular person wouldn't choose to do it.)

Jesse, sorry for being so nosy. It looks like continuous tracking is pretty pricey, but something like [link] might give peace of mind.
