Go, Carlos, go

Carlos Beltran has been unconscious in the playoffs against the Cardinals. Jayson Stark attempts to understand, but really, that’s impossible. It is what it is — I just hope he can continue it.

Put it in the books!

Four-hitter — Mets find yet another way to win a post-season game.

Glavine was brilliant, backed by great fielding and just enough hitting.

Three more needed to get to the Series.

Pujols swings and lines to short with a man on. Some scary stuff.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
