Disneyland Dad

-
Sometimes I think I am a Disneyland dad. You know, the type of non-custodial parent who is all fun and games but no responsibility. I think this happens due to my natural tendency to have fun and the infrequency of visits due to geographic constraints.

Of the things I can remember, this week we have:
-shooting in the desert
-lunch in Julian
-fireworks show at Seaworld
-movies to see the Dark Knight
-pizza from Oggi's
-multiple clothes shopping trips
-book buying from B&N
-visiting Birch Aquarium
-renting movies and having snacks at home
-beach day of surfing and boogie boarding
-two jiu jitsu classes
and that is all I can remember over the past 4 and 1/2 days, I am sure there is more!!

Still to come are:
-indoor rock climbing gym
-another movie
-more clothes shopping
-Phil's BBQ dinner

All this over an 8 day visit. I better never ever hear any complaining out of them about "we never do anything."

    You know they never say that. They say, "We want to come to your house. We never do anything at home."

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
