Hello, brain?


Wow, it's been a long time since I posted anything. One would think there is nothing rolling around in my mind worth talking about.

As a matter of fact, when I see other people's posts I do wonder whether I should just delete this whole thing. They sound so spiritual and deep. Sometimes I feel that way, but other times I just need to "talk."

But speaking of the brain, I was alerted to an article on smells and Alzheimer's. Pretty interesting. Did you know that you can take a scratch and sniff test to determine if you are at risk for Alzheimer's? Cinnamon, cloves, almond, lilac, peppermint. Etc. Seems that losing the "attachment" of an odor to its name is a clue to whether the rest of the brain glue is starting to lose its grip.

I'm afraid to sniff this one out, how about you?
