Thanks for posting this Kronos.
I agree... he is eloquent.

My mother has AD, and I will never forget what she said upon her diagnoses.
She turned and looked and me and said:
"Well... You either laugh or cry, and I choose to laugh"

This just breaks my heart. I have read every one of his books and re-read the series once a year.

I have every book he's ever written, even his kids books, he's a genius,
i met him a couple of times at book signings in the UK, really down to earth, a pleasure to talk too

yeah but dementia to him is imagination to the rest of us

I reckon even if he becomes gaga he'll be far more intelligent that greenspan or bernanke

those ****ers know nothing about finance

Am so glad that another of my fellow equals with early onset is speaking out as I have on this terrible thief, dementia. Before I enter the thickest of the "fog", I will be putting forth some more insights for those who cannot begin to fathom what having it is like. A thief, a burglar, that keeps on coming back for more, and there is NO return or finding of the items, until all is gone. Anyway, I commend him for speaking out. Much needed. So few understand.
