Thank you everyone for your well wishes.
I don't have good news.
Dan's brother Dion went to see Dan a week ago.
He was so disheartened by his visit that he won't go into much detail but he did say that Dan is in very bad condition and that Dan reminds him of their father just before he passed.
I am afraid that I may not get the chance to see Dan.
This is pretty much the worst news.
I know I have to accept the inevitable but it's incredibly hard.
Dan has been my best friend for 50 years.

Sorry to hear. Dan and I didn't always get along, but he was a good dude.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I may not post or even come around these parts too much anymore, but I remember you all, including Dan, and I am saddened to hear about this.

we miss sooo many awesome Watchers 
I'll see what I can do. Busy with the partner, dogs and university these days.
But I don't want to derail the thread, so I hope that dAN is as comfortable as he can be and that those close to him get the opportunity to make their peace.

Hey guys. A brief update about Dan. His brother visited him and said he had the best time in quite a while. Dan was very responsive and he and his brother Dion joked around for a short time which is great to hear.
Dion sent me a picture from the visit. I posted it in the Motley Crew.

Dan looks older but happy in the photo and I am glad to know he is coping with his situation.

Nice photo of Dan. How's he doing now?
Was sorry to hear he has Alzheimer's.
I remember kibbitzing with him in times gone by.

They are. Kibbitzing is chatting, in the sense I used it.
