Fact: Humans Are Also the Only Animals Whose Brains Shrink!<\/strong> As we get older, our brains tend to shrink and can suffer from cognitive dysfunction like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. But as best researchers can tell, we are the only animals to whom this shrinkage happens. Tests on other animals have found no similar phenomena\u2014even close evolutionary relatives like chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys.<\/em><\/p>\n

We spent the day getting ready for the party tomorrow.\u00a0 Tom came over, and he did several handyman chores, which is difficult for me with sciatica going wild. We went shopping at Ralph’s for last-minute items such as ice!\u00a0 I felt like I should tease someone, so this is what I did!<\/p>\n

Returning from Jan’s, we jumped into the pool and watched the moon go across the sky.\u00a0 We stayed in the water until about prune:thirty!\u00a0 I never had so many wrinkles in my entire life!<\/p>\n

We watched a movie and then at midnight came “the knock.”\u00a0 The kids have arrived.\u00a0 Sarah and Jon put away their bags, and we gave them a quick tour of the house and the yard should they wake up before us. We wanted them to have an idea of where they were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
