The Walk To End Alzheimer's

By Bill Craig

 Today, after speaking with West Georgia Walk chairperson Snapper Freeman, I committed to participating in this year's event which takes place on Hobbs Farm here in Carrollton, GA. on October 16th.-  9:00 am.

My usual link at the bottom of the page - instead of taking you to the general home page for the walk - will take you instead to our team's page. The team name will be (you guessed it) "Where To, Bud?" (to a successful "Finish Line", we hope.)

Since I don't know many of you personally, I decided to support myself as my own team. Should you decide to contribute, your donation will be counted toward the team's overall success. Also, if you wish to join the team, you may do so on the site. All are welcome.

The link below will also allow you to form your own team and raise funds to support Alzheimer's research. It all counts, folks, and if you'd like to make it count for someone special in your life, you can dedicate your walk to honor that person. Just visit the Walk's home page and inform yourselves. A special "Need Help?" line is also on that page to answer whatever questions you may have.

Good Luck raising awareness of Alzheimer's and funds, it should be a lot of fun for all of us. 😊

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

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
