Alzheimer’s is one of those diseases I've got my fingers crossed is largely cured by the time we're old enough to worry about it. Then again, I feel the same way about every disease. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the Discworld books. But I do highly recommend Good Omens: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Omens-Neil-Gaiman/dp/0441003257 It's a 1990 teamup between Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (another favorite of readers of this blog, I'd wager). It's sort of a farce about the apocalypse, and they're always rumors that it's going to be made into a movie any day now. This is indeed sad news.
