God DAMN this is a sad article. But also oddly uplifting too. This guy was a serious, respected journalist, probably capable of Poop Reads-worthy prose and then BAM! one day he had a heart attack at age 46 and became severely brain damaged. Is that a thing? I didn't even know heart attacks could cause brain damage? I thought that was strokes. Now I gotta worry about heart attacks too? I thought they either killed you or you kept on living and had to cut back on red meat and cigarettes or whatever. This is a whole new ballgame. My cholesterol is high as shit.
Anyway this guy's wife stuck with him. She sounds awesome. Moral of the story: A good woman, if you find one, hang on tight. They're a precious commodity.

"Pat Summitt ...Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease" by Sally Jenkins - WashingtonPost.com
Sad story here. The legendary Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt revealed yesterday that she's been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. Freaking nightmare disease. I don't have much else to say, her longtime friend Sally Jenkins, a writer for The Washington Post said it best here.
