I spent two years after college working as an Activities Technician on the Alzheimer's/Dementia unit of a nursing home in Western Pennsylvania. I am now a student at the University of Nebraska College of Law working on my J.D. and a Masters in Gerontology. Most of these posts are stories and witticisms from the wonderful elders I've gotten to spend so much time visiting, and a few of them are rambles about how I'm determined to make the world a better place. I hope you enjoy reading!

I haven't forgotten...

I should probably take a moment to mention that I have not abandoned this blog, but you might not believe me since my last post was a month ago.  I think that warrants my first strike as a blogger.  Forgive me?

Truth be told, I have five different posts saved in my "drafts" right this very second.  But I haven't found the time (lamest excuse ever) to polish them with the attention they deserve.  I suppose I'm the kind of writer that would rather something not be said at all than be said insufficiently.  That might explain why I'm using three paragraphs to explain that I simply fell behind in my posts.

As my residents would say, "If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well."  So I will consider myself inspired and hope to pay some attention to those drafts; the goal is to get them all posted in the next week or so.  That should give you just enough notice to make time to curl up with a cup of hot tea and brace yourself for some more timeless wisdom.  If I don't follow through, I'll willingly take strike two (whatever that means).

Stick with me - I promise there's some good stuff coming your way!
