First, a) I love, luv, lerv your logo/wordmark. That alone makes me smile.
I recently read something from someone (my brain is going) who realized that he relied on the interwebz so much when a word would elude him or searching for a synonym that he felt his brain was melting. So, he put himself on a fast, not of the interwebz, but of relying on it as a shortcut. I do it. I used to have great math skills, now I'm so used to pulling up my calculator, don't bother to remember converting cups to quarts when I can look it up in an instant, and spelling? Well, spellcheck. Doh! So, since my spelling has become atrocious, since words are my jam, and I'm really frightened of getting aphasia or dementia, I've decided to do the same.
Now you, I like this, Strangerpedia. In a way, I do that for folks dealing with dementia. I'm : Don't search, come to me and let me guide you. I love doing that. I also love talking to strangers (more than I do folks I know most of the time, the..what's the word? brevity? No transient nature of the encounter. And giving that to your kids is invaluable. I'm going to do that more in my life, for me. Thanks.
