The definitive, eccentric journal of an unlikely caregiver, continued.
Apologia for these journals:
They are not about taking care of a relative with moderate to severe Alzheimer's/senile dementia.

For internet sources that are about caring for relatives with moderate to severe
Alzheimer's/senile dementia, click through the Honorable Alzheimer's Blogs in my

As seems to be happening fairly frequently of late...
...I'm back after an extended absence, as you'll notice from the freshly published post immediately below. I want to mention, writing that post finally galvanized my interest in watching a movie I rented from Netflix several years ago (exaggeration, but only slight) that I expect will have a direct connection to the immediately previous post. The movie is The Ballad of Narayama. Although it may seem obvious to you, from the description of the movie to which I linked, why I haven't watched it until today, actually, it isn't the anticipation of its raw vitality that has kept it out of my DVD player: It's that I haven't wanted to think, much, about what I've been watching and I've suspected this movie is going to catalyze a lot of thought. Today, it seems, I'm ready. Stay tuned. Expect a post on the movie within the next 24 hours.
Later.
