For the last few years I have had to keep a pad of paper with me at all times. By senior moments I think you mean things like: "Who am I? & What was I doing? & Where am I going to?" Oh boy have I ever had some "senior moments". I am pretty laid back so I have never got to upset by any of that. I just figured that it made me kind of "flaky" & therefore kind of cute in a pathetic sort of way. (My wife just rolls her eyes, and shakes her head) I salute you Camilla for the work you have done. I'd love to swap stories with you sometime (if I could recall any). Take care, David Meigs aka: Pappy [log in to unmask]
