It has been more than a month since I have posted anything; it has been a very busy time. We celebrated my father's 8oth birthday on Feb. 2nd with a live band playing 60's pop and rock. We had over 100 guests throughout the day! I even rented a dance floor and everyone was up dancing at one time or another. Even my dad was dancing, at one point he was dancing with three lady friends at the same time.
On another note the local PBS TV station (KPBS) came out in late January to film a segment on both my pop and me. It was for a one hour special on Alzheimer's which will air on February 21st on KPBS at 8PM (PST). It will also be available on the web. The show is called Envision San Diego.
The reporter and cameraman actually spent over six hours following us around. My dad really comes off quite gracious and humorful during his interviews.
I will post instructions on how to view it via the Internet once I figure it out. I also promise to post more frequently now that things have settled down. Groovy.

Okay groovy little cousin, the trouble with Jesus is wonderful and I thank you for sharing with us.
hugs cousin carey
I'm watching your interview on KPBS right now while doing some work: you're an amazing son and a great person.
I'll be taking a more active part in Alzheimer's research, for whatever small part I can.
God bless you and your father.
Hi Ricardo,
I first heard the promo for this show on KPBS this morning and am now watching the show. How strong and generous you are to care for your father like this. My grandfather passed just a little over two years ago after a 10 year battle with AD. My mother and grandmother were his caregivers, and the 10 years were grueling and painful for everyone. The last time I saw him, he looked into my eyes, told me how much I reminded him of his first granddaughter, and how he wished he could see her again. I cried for most of my flight back to the US.
I pray for you both and wish you great patience and luck. I will continue to read your blog.
