Every day we hear about where he found the newspaper. Everyday we
are told
about a Hallmark movie he just watched and we should watch it too.
Currently we have 18 stacked up on the DVR marked do not delete.


At least he remembers them. I know someone who may watch the same movie
every night for seven days or more in a row, and each time is more or
less like the first time. I think she watched the lover story "Ghost"
every day for a month... LOL!


Every
day we get a report on how many times he let the dog out for her
needs and
we get a full report as to which outings were successful and if it
was a #1
or #2. I do not let him follow me to the bathroom. For some
reason his
inventory of Dr. Pepper cannot go below 48 cans. He has a spread
sheet of
his daily BP and weight. The doctors office gets multiple copies.
He
can't just tell them. He keeps up with gas prices too, he no longer
drives
or owns a vehicle.

I guess he and Lew do these things to stay sharp.

It's easy to see how you honestly come by some of your ideas.
