Have you seen the last season of Wallander with Kevin Branagh? He plays a Swedish detective who had huge issues with his self-centered father, who eventually developed Alzheimer's, and in the last season of the series, he has to deal with it himself--very well done tackling of the issue, imo, and a lot better than pretending one has a power one doesn't by taking a course. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/programs/wallander/hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-51161488695405394462016-08-08T03:43:07.535-05:002016-08-08T03:43:07.535-05:00One cannot live under a cloud!

Every male in Dad's side of the family, back to at least my great grandfather became blind by macular degeneration in their 80's or 90's. Some of the ladies also. It will be hard to 'write' poetry then. Or drive. Or ... But there is some peripheral vision that generally remains. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-58594201566501500852016-08-07T21:44:01.352-05:002016-08-07T21:44:01.352-05:00Absolutely not!
