The secrets of the Cosmos are yours, but only between 2am and 3am. 2. A bowl of luke-warm soup becomes your favourite diet - it doesn't have to be cut into bite-sized pieces, it can't burn you, you don't need a spoon - you can lap it up like a cat (providing the depth is not sufficient to drown you when you fall face down in it.) 3. You are never lonely - the noises in your head are so entertaining; now if they could just learn a new tune... 4. You can now take your revenge on all the people who rang you offering free trial dance lessons, gym workouts, etc., just by turning up! 5. You have an unearned reputation for giving deep, serious thought to life's problems, when it's just that you've fallen asleep, but your eyelids have "frozen" open. 6. Casual acquaintances admire the way you race down corridors, until the day they see how you stop, by ricocheting off the end wall. 7. You are greatly entertained , watching through your window as a tiny, hard bud opens into a flower, then turns into a baby apple, ripens, is picked, given to you to eat, and its pieces in your throat become tiny, hard buds... 8. You go to where you *know* you left the coffee jar, and it's *there*. 9. Your grandkids love to play basketball with you, but you wish they would let you be something other than the basket post. 10. Your "I remember when..." reminiscences are about tying your own shoelaces, eating a bowl of ice-cream instead of drinking it, hailing a cab and getting to the door first (or at all).... Jim
