Gary’s shared linksWashington, DC, USA As hard as it is to believe, I’ve had some kind of presence on the web for over a decade now. And, for more than a decade now, that web presence has yo-yoed between being active and neglected. I think that’s how most Internet-folks work. Obviously, for the past couple of years, [...]

Stratford, NJ, USA My grandmother passed away peacefully last Wednesday evening at the rehabilitation facility in Voorhees where she had been staying temporarily for several weeks. She was 90, and she lived a full and happy life. It wasn’t unexpected, and it was probably for the best. But it’s still sad. I have pages and [...]

Stratford, NJ, USA Last Wednesday, August 20, marked 1 year and 9 months since I began taking care of my grandmom. But, due to the trifecta of laziness, the Olympics, and another hospitalization, I’m late in posting my monthly recap. And, unfortunately, the fact that this is the most negative post I’ve written in a [...]

VOORHEES, NJ, USA So, we’re back in the hospital. My grandmom fell out of bed sometime early Saturday morning, between 5am and 11am. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear her fall immediately, so she had to lay there for a little while. I know there wasn’t really much I could do, short of moving my bed into [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA So, yesterday marked 19 months since I moved in with my grandmom. I don’t really have much to say this time around, because everything from my last monthly Nana-recap still holds. My grandmom still continues to decline slowly, but it’s not always immediately noticeable. The only real changes in the last month [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA It’s Wednesday! That means my grandmom is officially 90 years old! Wow! I’ll be in DC most of the day, and she will most likely still be asleep when I leave. But she stayed up past midnight, and I got to wish her happy birthday on her birthday itself. We’ve also had [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA So, yesterday marked a year and a half since I moved back to New Jersey, and today marks a year and a half since I became my grandmom’s caregiver. For most of the past 18 months, I’ve tried to use the “anniversary” date each month to provide a little update/recap of life [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Note: Whenever I visit a new sports stadium or arena, I like to post some of my thoughts and pictures about it soon after my visit. Believe it or not, there are a lot of “stadium geeks” online, and these posts are pretty popular. Unfortunately, I’ve been lazy for a few months, [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Today marks seventeen months since I became my grandmom’s primary caregiver. Up until last month (when I got lazy), I was using the “anniversary” date each month to post a recap of life here. But since I just posted an update on life with her ten days ago, I’m not going to [...]
