Thanks For Reading The Journal!

By Bill Craig

It is heartening to know we're international! I believe my readers who are furthest away include,  India, New Zealand, Viet Nam and of course, Germany, Sweden and the USA. Just joined are a couple of gaming friends from Montreal, Canada. And don't worry: All I can see is your location - nothing else! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If when accessing the journal through your browser's address bar you get a notice saying the site is not secure, please check that you did NOT use the https prefix  For some reason Blogger goes bananas when that happens, and gives you that note. The site is SAFE and has been since 2008. Simply type wheretobud dot blogspot dot com WITHOUT the www. Thanks!

Why is this important to me (your location, I mean)? Because it keeps my "creative juices" flowing. I sometimes sit here at my desk and write journal entries for three days hence. That never used to happen, so thank you!

If I might ask one more favor from you, dear reader? Tell your friends about us. My goal is to add one new user daily so I can cover the globe. Big expectations, right? But big expectations are what keeps me going now that my cancer is in remission.

The other "big expectation" is to be in the list of "The Top 20 Sites About Dementia" Yup, I have "high hopes, my friends! 

Of course, I would also appreciate a comment now and then - pro or con, but that is totally up to you, the reader. Rest assured, however, that should you leave a comment, it will be answered and you will be thanked.

Except for doctor's appointments and grocery pickup, Dondra and I are on voluntary lockdown. We are both immuno-compromised, so we think this is the best way for us to deal with Covid and its new variant-D.

Finally, if it's morning and afternoon here in Georgia, USA and you ever wonder what that dude who writes the journal is doing ? Well, if you think I'm working on the journal - 9 times out of 10 you would be correct.

So thanks to all my readers -  domestic and international - for keeping me busy and my muse alive!

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

==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real

 Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye.  So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here  are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from  January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
