 a behavioral ta-da! Ken turned 65 on Saturday and I invited several people over for a drop-in during the day. I felt that a party might be overwhelming but wanted to acknowledge his special day and give friends and relatives an opportunity to see Ken. He had a wonderful day, recognized most of his visitors and at the end of the day told me it was "perfect" (from a man who almost can't speak). Of course, he slept almost the entire next day, completely worn out, but happy. And so am I! Sher
