Dear Dr. Smartypants,
My grandfather's favorite book was always Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Now that he suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he's always hitchhiking with his large thumb. He's very successful at it, too. I'm having to fetch him more and more often. What should I do?

Dear Driven,
From the photo you enclose, your grandfather appears to enjoy hitchhiking from the live poultry section to the giant broccoli section of the novelty food store. Just pin a shopping list to him next time, and you can combine errands.

Dr. Smartypants
