Knock knock - Dementia hear

My last post postulated the onset of oldness. On myself.

Then I got to thinking - what with limited time to do that - thinking that is... when will that oldness condition translate to 'Dementia'.

My best half has oft made innuendos that I am on the cusp. But so far I have not heard that I have the full bodied version. Of course my hearing is suspect but that is another matter.

So then I decided I should jot down what I might use as a qualification criteria for onset of or complete dementia. I will use footwear as a starting point. Got to get out somewhere, somehow.

So before I head out if I was doing any of the below I would consider it as the early onset stage.

1. Wearing mismatched socks.

2. Wearing mismatched shoes.

3. Wearing mismatched socks and shoes at the same time I step out.

Further deterioration of faculties could lead to the below instance, which I am willing to consider as 'officially in dementia'.

1. Wearing only one sock.

2. Wearing only one shoe.

3. Wearing one sock and one shoe not on the same foot.

So I will continue to stare for a minute at my feet for now before I present myself to society. And at such point I fail to do the above then 'watch out'.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

The Palmetto state. One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back. We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination. Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old. The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago. The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language. Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds. The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic. Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'. This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...
