Sometimes you just get lucky. Lucky is what I am. Terry Pratchett’s latest novel Unseen Academicals gets released today (Oct. 6th) in the United States but if you are in Australia, it’s already out in hardcover in the stores for $49.95 AUD. Amazon has it here for $14.03 USD. The reason we are absolutely lucky is because Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimers recently and many of us thought this meant an end to the Discworld series. Apparently not. Pratchett is still going strong.

I’ve had a leaky brain crack or something along that order lately. Thoughts gather in my head and lead out before I can write them down. So, today, I am posting Observations on Growing Older….a friend sent this to me. I added a few one-liners that are suppose to be jokes but I swear….everyone is true. Hope you get a laugh out of it. And, please, if you have any to add, don’t hestitate to do so. Hopefully, I’ll get the crack in my brain fixed up with some super-glue or silly putty soon.

  One of the truly great things that have happened in the past few years has been our willingness to devote the time and resources to provide HAART and help save impoverished HIV-infected persons worldwide. This mission is far from over and will require years of commitment and follow-up in order to build overseas capacity and expand access to care.

Dr. David Ginsburg answers the question: “Can a head injury increase my risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease?”Although head injury has not been clearly proven as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, several studies have suggested an association—particularly in men.In at least one study, there was evidence that the observed time from traumatic brain injury to onset of Alzheimer’s disease was less than the expected time to onset of Alzheimer’s disease.In addition, several studies evaluated the correlation between head trauma, the ApoE4 gene, an independent risk factor, and Alzheimer’s disease.Upon reviewing the medical literature, no uniform conclusions could be determined.
