Happy Friday kid!

7:17pm
Terrible new out of Paris. 

6:32pm Phil 
Paris. Tragic. Can happen anywhere. 

6:33pm
Living in the Boston area… we know. Ugh.

6:34pm  

My head intern is there this weekend.  To see soccer.

6:34pm Phil 

The world needs to unite and end this bullshit. Cowardly low life bastards

6:36pm  

We can do so much… I wish we could solve this crap.

6:37pm Phil 

The French took them in with open arms

6:41pm  
The news coverage stinks… Twitter is scooping them all.

6:42pm Phil 

Maybe this will result in some action

6:44pm  

What’re you up to this evening?

6:45pm Phil 
Sipping a scotch with a cigar and a fire.

6:53pm  
Just occurred to me I have that intern’s sister’s email… gonna ask her.

6:54pm Phil 

Good plan. Hope they are ok

6:57pm

She might know.

So glad you are around tonight.

7:14pm Phil 

: )

7:15pm

Heard from my intern… he wrote me from Paris!  
He was at the soccer match where President Hollande was… and the bomb outside.  He’s okay.

7:16pm Phil 

Wonderful

7:29pm  
Sad to think of the families that will not be getting good news.

7:32pm Phil 

Oh yeah

7:33pm

Have you been to Paris? 
I was there when I was 7.

7:47pm Phil 
Been several times

7:48pm
President Obama’s press conference. “An attack on humanity.”

Good morning kid!  Up early for the cleaners.   Heading to the lab for routine blood tests, then last day of work until Monday.  Whee!

7:32am Phil 
Good morning?  Early? 
Good luck at the lab. Enjoy the day!

8:41pm
The Maharaja is open again! Enjoyed the bargain Indian buffet at lunch today.  I adore being able to get a little taste of all my favorites!

PSA: Beware the new Dunkin Snickerdoodle Croissant Donut. Sweet evil in a circle. Avoid unless you want a super sugar infusion and way too good tasting pastry and filling. May be habit-forming.p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #1d2129; -webkit-text-stroke: #1d2129} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

The End of Credibility

From my private journal 

November 9th, 2015 Monday
04:43 pm – The End of Credibility

My mom and I go out for lunch every Saturday.  I pick her up at the assisted living community.  I pay attention to many factors to assess how she’s doing, whether we need to do anything for her.  It varies a lot from week to week.  I note whether she meets me downstairs or I have to chase her from the dining room because she has forgotten I’m coming, even though I talked to her 30 minutes ago, and I visit every Saturday.  I watch how she is moving, and whether she winces as I hit potholes on our drive.  I ask her where she’d like to eat.  Some weeks it’s clear she has no idea, so I offer choices and she says, “Wherever you want.”  Other weeks she names somewhere.  I help her decide what to order, mentioning what she’s enjoyed before.  We have a nice meal.  I ask her about her week.  I share stories and photos from my adventures. Sometimes she complains to me because we’ve taken her credit cards, which her giving away money over the phone to questionable charities and the “You’ve won a cruise!” scammers forced us into.  Other weeks she complains about how they don’t give her any sleeping pills, which I know are given to her each evening.  Sometimes we talk about the news – she is still an avid watcher of the local and national news.  I note how much she eats.  If she is in pain, she doesn’t eat much. 
Saturday we went out to The Ninety Nine restaurant.  She met me downstairs, was walking well, didn’t wince as we drove, had a lovely plate of fish and chips and ate almost all of it!  Looking good!  Her mind was a little flaky – she couldn’t recall which way to turn to go into the restaurant from the bathroom… or which car in the parking lot is mine.  It doesn’t matter.  I was there to guide her.   She said her shingles were still hurting but that was to be expected since it was only three weeks ago.  She told me as if I wasn’t with her at the doctor when she was diagnosed.  I pointed out that it was three months ago and maybe we should ask the doctor for more medicine?  She shook her head… how could it be three months?  I said it was in August… I took her to the doctor that awful hot day?   Nope.  Not a flicker of recognition. Whatever. 
Today my sister reported that she talked to Mom.  She said we had a nice lunch on Saturday.  At the Japanese Noodle House.  Hmm… 

Japanese salt flavored Sapporo ramen
First of all… we didn’t go to the Japanese Noodle House.  Second, we have never been to a Japanese Noodle House together.  Third, I don’t think she’s ever been to a Japanese Noodle House!  Because there is no Japanese Noodle House anywhere around here!

What is this about?  If she doesn’t remember, fine.  But to make up something completely different?  That flummoxes me.  It doesn’t matter, but it does mean that NOTHING she reports can be trusted.  Luckily… it mostly doesn’t matter.  But… wow.  The brain is a strange place, especially when it is battered by strokes and medicines and lack of regular sleep and who knows what.  Wow.  It could be much worse.  But it’s scary.  There are treatments for broken hips, cataracts, cancer, pneumonia… but how can we fix her credibility?  It’s just… gone.  And I’m sad.

Pretty day, packing things, waiting on football. Moving soon – we gotta be ready to go. So ready to be in and getting settled. The house we rented is a nice place but it was always temporary.

Had to finish the work first. 
About to throw a 2 lb porterhouse on the grill

6:30pm Phil 

[photo of a big steak on the grill]

6:33pm

Wowzers.   Meat.

6:33pm Phil 

Hmmmmm

Big meat

Sear it on both sides real quick and then set it on its side and cook on the off heat side. Comes out like butta

6:34pm

Reminds me of you.

6:34pm Phil 
Ha!

6:35pm

Is that all for you?

6:36pm Phil 

Yep!  With mushrooms and a side salad

6:36pm

Oh my…
I’m waiting for a grocery delivery that includes dinner…starving

6:37pm Phil 

Felt like a big ass steak
And that’s a big ass tender steak. 
By the time I finish my stogie it will be done

6:44pm

Living the good life!

6:44pm Phil 

And why not!

6:44pm  

Indeed.
