Jesse, interesting New Yorker article on treatment of people with dementia I stumbled across this morning. [link]
It's a few months old so you might have seen it already.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

In the past 20 minutes, we've had Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door, followed 15 minutes later by a family of Christians of unspecified denomination.
I asked Tim what religious group he thought would be next, and he said, "Maybe scientists!"

Scientists go door-to-door on Wednesdays, no?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That's the hypothesis. Hasn't been repeated enough with the same results to be a theory.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Seventh Day Scientists, maybe.
Why did I make a full pot of coffee this morning? I mean, I know the reason is that it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it really wasn't.

Can you just put the leftover coffee in the fridge, for iced coffee tomorrow?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I need to start a Seventh Day Scientists organization. There's obviously a crying need for it.
