Keeping My Senses "Sharp" ; WoW

By Bill Craig
No, I'm not saying "Wow!" as an exclamation, but as an acronym for" World of Warcraft!

But I may as well be saying "Wow!", for all the good playing the game has done for my cognitive functions, reaction time and overall ability to concentrate.

When I first went to have myself examined for EOAD, my doctor recommended playing this online game in order to keep my senses sharp and intact for as long as possible while science searches for a cure for this currently fatal disease.

Dude, we rockin' sincerely, and here's the link if you'd like to try it out for 10 days free: www.worldofwarcraft.com

I'm wolkenlaufre in Alexstrasia and if you can find me (Human Alliance Warrior), let's group up (my guild is The EOAD FEEBS) and kill some bad guys.

Want to? Lets have some WoW fun with some WoW toons!



Hope to see y'all in Azeroth sometime!

The guild is called "EOAD FEEBS" and I am the "feeb-master"!

Look for me to sign up!

Hello Bill,

Its Gordon again, thanks for your comments man. It touched home and I feel bad that I haven't been able to be around my Great-Grandmother as much. I really need to make a trip back to Illinois to see my family and her. She can't talk on the phone but I stay updated thanks to my Mother and Grand-Father. Y'know I might just roll a toon over on Alexstrasza to play with you and your guild. I've been Horde most of my wow career and I can't guarantee that I will be on a good ammount of time, I have an 80 raid tank on Smolderthorn, soon to be transferring to Jubei'thos however to a more progressed raid guild. I'll be sure to look you up as soon as a I roll on Alexstraza though.

All the best,
Gordon.

Hi Bill, sorry to hear you will be retiring from the "work force". Your "new" name - Cloudwalker, is interesting. Sounds like something I would pick for myself. We miss you and your great sense of humor over on Rick Steves world though, so drop by occasionally.
Hugs to ya, Frankfurt Jo

Jo,

I haven't "forgotten" about my friends on Europe Through The Back Door, and I certainly have not forgotten the sweet lady who have me a tour of her town last time I was "home"!

God, I miss Germany.

Especially now when I don't know how much longer I will know who I am and where I come from!

Thanks for writing, Jo.

Heading over to Rick's place.

I miss y'all too!

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m...

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t...

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

By Bill Craig

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo...
