In a perfect world I would write a month’s
worth of Wordplay
Wednesday posts at one time and only be in a crunch once a month, rather
than every freakin’ week. Alas, life is not perfect – as I was reminded
yesterday.
Like me, are you feeling cheated and swindled
out of your time this week? Who or what is the cattle-rustler-time-swindler in
your life?
Doesn’t the 2nd definition kinda
reference the first one? You know – like a cattle rustler cheats and swindles
his victims? Jus’ sayin’.
And that said, occasionally, time-cheating at
the right time for the right reason, should
be allowed into your schedule. Especially when it comes to learning about the
cheating and swindling of time that can erase our memories.
This week for me, my time was
choused for all the right reasons by an event, that as a (early)
Boomer, I simply could not miss.
Wednesday’s AARP Aging Summit in San Diego was
1) free, including lunch; 2) featured keynote speaker, super-entertainer, Dick Van Dyke; and 3) provided valuable
information about the causes and effects (as we know them today) of dementia,
and especially Alzheimer’s
– and did I say it was FREE?!
