Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

That was by far my favorite comment and my sentiments exactly as posted on a report that Terry Pratchett has early onset Alzheimer’s. The great author himself is, as is his nature, very upbeat and wry about it all.

His fans are trying to do likewise, with varying degrees of success. Go make a year end research donation, wouldya? They have a donor matching program going on right now so it does twice as much good.

Plus, I’d appreciate it, personally- Alzheimer’s is a subject near and dear to our hearts here in the house- it runs throughout Charlie’s family.

In the meantime, I’ve decided that I’m going to move the random Pratchett quote sidebar widget over here- now that all non-NOLA info is here, it makes more sense. I’ll add to it hopefully every few days.

This isn’t a new one, but it is one of my all time favorites, from “The Truth”:

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.

The world *belongs*, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse *me*? This is my glass? I don’t *think* so. My glass was full! *And* it was a bigger glass! “
