  2. It’s wonderful that you live in an altruistic community, John. The frequent fundraisers and events are a testimony to that. And Joe Cocker can always brighten the day. Enjoy the sunshine. 🌞

  4. That is one awful disease!!
    Count me in on the short ribs, but I’d best wait until after I walk to eat them. (I’m slow enough without the added weight! 😬 )

  5. Nice work for a great cause. Ilk try the short rib. Looked like a comfortable day for a walk. I used a Joe Cocker sound track in a sales presentation (You Are So Beautiful) and the team loved it. More importantly, the sales manager, a.k.a. the boss, did, too. Secured my spot at least for the next year…

  24. Another wonderful Sunday outing, and for such a worthy cause, too! I hope they raised a ton of money, and had a terrific time doing so! And I hope some of them had enough energy left afterward to really get into the music. (Joe Cocker? Oh, yeah. I’m good with that!)

    Thanks for sharing, John, and have a great week ahead! 😀

  25. I love eggs Benedict but can’t say as I’ve ever had a short rib one- sounds delicious.
    I lost my grandma a few years ago to this horrible, sad, soul-stealing disease. I’m glad people are kind enough to put in the time and energy to raise funds for research and pray, one day, they find a cure.

  27. Wonderful idea, dear John! And I must notice that the weather allows you to arrange it. In Russia it is already winter. 🙂 Thank you!

  29. Wonderful food and I love me some Joe Cocker (He died the day after Mick – we had to include this song in the video 🙂 ).
    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Your community rocks. This disease has taken so many people I love.

        4. You know… there seems to be no one official cause, you are right (I had to look it up). Most scientists feel it’s a combination of genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors. There seems to be no one thing to blame (at this point) so yeah, let us continue to raise funds and do what we can to keep our brains healthy!

  31. A great cause and the grub you offer up . . I kept going back and forth between the short rib Benedict and the brisket hash before settling on the Korean steak and eggs bowl. Which would require a brisk walk afterwards, so yanno . it’s win meeting grub meeting walk meeting a HUGE win for all involved.
