Some grim information on Boomers and Alzheimer’s Disease…

I guess this is really obvious due to the amount of Boomers that are all coming of the age when odds may be against us, when it comes to the possibilities of facing diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

A bit of nostalgia today…the brother we all wished we had…

Tony Dow who played Wally, the big brother on “Leave it to Beaver” was the big brother we all wished we had. He was not perfect and sometimes didn’t want his little brother, Beaver, hanging around with him and his friends, but he was always there to protect his little brother and a great role model for all of us kids in the 1950’s. Well, he’s still doing great things and is recently in the news for his art.
