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?

Driven Crazy in Denver

Dear Denver,
This problem will probably work itself out. Your grandfather is bound to be raped soon, and things like that tend to turn one off of a hobby.
