Happy Thanksgiving from a Turkey Fanatic
Nov 24, 2009
I have to confess that I love home-cooked turkey. I am crazy about Thanksgiving turkey and the turkey leftovers. When my wife, Rose, generously offers to send turkey home with our kids, I bar the door. Yep, I long for Thanksgiving Day, filled with all of the traditional foods and fellowship. For me, Thanksgiving’s attitude […]
Who Wants a Feeding Tube?
Nov 19, 2009
My wife, Rose, picked me up from the office the other day. As usual she asked me, “What did you do today?” I replied, “Well, honey, let me tell you about the most important moment of my day… “This afternoon I sat next to a gentleman in his mid 80s who has a diagnosis of […]

Grandma’s Cobwebs
Oct 14, 2009
About a year ago, for reasons I can’t really explain, I wanted to find out what books specifically for children had been written about Alzheimer’s. It was easy to find a book called What’s Happening to Grandpa? by Maria Shriver. When I went to Amazon.com to find out more about Maria Shriver’s book, I saw a review that said that “Dr. Ann Frantti wrote a book entitled Grandma’s Cobwebs several years ago on the same topic. Unfortunately, Dr. Frantti doesn’t have the benefit of Ms. Shriver’s ‘star power’ in terms of getting publicity about Grandma’s Cobwebs, but her book is excellent.”
