Wasn't quite sure whether to call this "More Adventures With Dementia" or something else, but I have to admit that if it were not so personal it would be funny. You just never know what will come out of the mouth of a person suffering from dementi...

Some photos from my trip to Maine. I really recommend a windjammer cruise. Great Food! A little work for the passengers, and always a lobster bake on the beach! This is not your typical cruise, the cabins are small, the beds are berths, and everyo...
