Would you want to know?

     Here are interesting studies being done on whether non-invasive inexpensive eye exams can predict Alzheimer's Disease ten or fifteen years into the future. That would be wonderful to have a diagnostic tool, however if there is no treatment to cure or slow the disease, would you want to know?  I don't think I would.

Is the eye key to predicting Alzheimer's?

   On a lighter note, I went to a painting party last night.  Oh where did all my kindergarten art-skills go? This hobby would be a lesson in patience, something I have in short supply.
