My 12 Days of Christmas Starts Now

-
Today, #1- pack everything up and make the house ready for departure.(ps-i just bought concert tickets online using a sight with German only, no English translation. I was successful!)
Monday, #2- leave at 4am for JFK
#3- arrive Frankfurt Germany
#4,5,6-After traveling by rail from Germany arrive in Strasbourg France and spend a few days shopping and experiencing the oldest extant Christmas market, having been in continuance since the 15th century.
#7,8,9- Another day on Eurorail brings us to Vienna Austria for urban cafes, music and opera. Specifically a night at the Wiener Konzerthaus for a symphonic performance. Oh yeah, and in row 2. Prime time or no time!
#10,11,12- A final scenic train ride takes me to Budapest Hungary. Sights, history, museums and ballet. From here it's just a short 14 hour first class flight back to provincial Sandy Lame-o. I mean, "Hey we got nice weather", San Diego.

Merry Christmas my awesome blog readers!

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.
