Pet Peeves of a Peeved Pet
Hi, this is Morris. Or, as the folks around here

There’s nothing funny about
Alzheimer’s. But in the 13 years I lived with the
disease (AD), I learned that a good laugh is often the
best medicine.
Before AD claimed her life, I tried to make my
wife Maxine as happy as possible every day of the week. Even
though she had lost her memory, she responded cheerfully to
amusing stories of our marriage and to my limited repertoire of
