OLD MAN LUNCH
Welcome to Old Man Lunch
Old Man Lunch is a podcast about three old friends having lunch, going for a walk, skiing, drinking, or just having fun while discussing their lives, families, local news, childhoods, health, politics, and whatever other topics we find interesting.
Oh, yeah, we will also be talking about Alzheimer’s quite a bit as Matt (one of your hosts) was diagnosed with early onset of this dreadful disease about a year ago at the age of 55.
Our goal is to provide a deep look into how Alzheimer’s impacts Matt life as well as his family, friends, wife and children. We want to talk about the daily challenges, frustrations, and believe it or not, freedoms (Matt’s words), that Alzheimer’s has brought into his life

We are also going to have some fun, we need to jam 20 years of retirement merriment and tomfoolery into a much shorter time frame so expect some boozy nonsense, joking, jesting and high jinks. (I like a thesaurus now and again)
Finally, we want to look at how friendships, at all ages, make life better. There is an epidemic of loneliness in America according to the Surgeon General and we think that gathering a group of friends together for lunch can help just about everyone so keep an eye out for some episodes about the importance of friends.
Old Man Lunch News
Old Man Lunch recently went to Moab with some old friends from Dubuque and had a great time. We hit Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, and Dead Horse State Park.
We also had some boozy nights, good conversations, and lovely hikes. While we did less recording than I planned (and I fucked up again), we probably have enough for one episode although the sound quality is less than ideal.
Check out our photo page and blog to see a few photos and read about our trip.
The Latest Episodes
Check out the latest ten episodes below. If you are looking for older episodes, everything we have ever done is here.
Matt and I are back from our Powder Highway trip in Canada. We had a great time, we skied four resorts and knocked out a day of CAT skiing in B.C. Check out the photos and videos here.
We did a bit of recording and the new episode will be released hopefully Wednesday, March 12. If you want to get to know Matt better and hear about his life, this is a great episode. Give it a listen and drop us a note to tell us what you think.
Coming soon.... Matt is going to do a weekly Living with Alzheimer's Tip of the Week video so keep an eye out for that.
