Simple Technology and "Who the hell is That?"

Today it is my intention to learn how to use my new Digital Voice Recorder...yet another 'intuitive' tool that challenges my intuitiveness. I need this damn thing so I better learn how to use it.. Mike's stories go in circles sometimes. I must have a record, a scorecard I can go back to again and again to follow the play and the players.

I am troubled and lost some sleep over Mike's "visitors" I talked about yesterday. I have caregiver experience, and my antennae are twitching. De-ja vu over finding the convicted felon in my Alzheimers-afflicted mother's living room.. waiting for her to find a thousand dollars to play the illegal numbers racket he ran. For a year, I helped my kid sister with bone marrow transplant for final stage Multiple Myeloma.. she was the target of home repair scams. She also had to take extreme measures to protect herself and her finances from greedy, life-sucking people who had been in her life for almost 30 years. Devastating things unconscionable people do to vulnerable elders piss me off. I wrote to my attorney about this yesterday with Harry's blessing. (Harry is Mike's POA). This was not on my radar when I decided to write Mike's biography, but life happens. I guess this will be part of the process. C'est la vie!
