My father died peacefully on February 6, 2012. I had arrived a few hours before he died, so I had time to sit by him and talk and even moisten his lips with the long-promised scotch I had with me. I don't know if he heard me, but he smacked his lips from the scotch,
My father had Alzheimer's and had donated his brain to the Alzheimer's study he'd been part of at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
I'll continue to post for a while.
My father never asked for anything - until he asked for this clock. It's special in that it's battery operated and tells the time and day and isn't digital. The Alzheimer's store in NYC sells it.
I like this clock. Clear, uncluttered display. No nonsense.
Limitations: No year, no am/pm or day/night indication? Has to be adjusted manually for daylight saving time?
What I'd absolutely love would be one with a similarly clear display, radio-controlled, with full date (including year). The clock industry really doesn't seem to be on my side, there.

I didn't realize that there was an alzheimer's store. Is that where people get alzheimer's? (attempt at humor...) I like the clock.
Wouldn't it be nice if the store took returns! (attempt at return humor)
