Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fried, frazzled, and ferklempt, and now it is time for you to post until the fried, frazzled, and ferklempt cows come home.

And the word of the day is: AURIFEROUS!

Just read that the great Toots Thielmans has passed. He was someone who was a huge influence on my young musical life with his great song Bluesette, which I wrote about in Kritzer Time. Ninety-four years old and playing right up until the end.

Good morning, all.

I was awakened by the phone ringing at six in the a.m., got a bit of sleep with an annoying dream after that, then got up at seven and watched a little Weather Channel in the recliner.

Coffee!

My first senior moment like that one was at age twenty when I completely slept through some fellow student's recital I was supposed to be accompanying at something like one in the afternoon.

(Oddly, for whatever reason, it didn't matter -- I think because sometimes these things were hardly even attended by anyone, but it also had something to do with who was involved. I wish I could remember.)

So are you telling me it's going to get worse??

I pulled a good one the other day, setting the mail on top of the car and walking across the driveway to do something, forgetting about the mail, and driving off to the store later with it still up there. Thank the gods it's a winding hilly driveway, so that the articles conveniently fell off in one spot near the house and were easily recovered later.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #8 on:** August 22, 2016, 05:08:48 AM »

But that's been a weakness for years. The first thing I drove off with on top of the car was at around age 28, in L.A., and the second was about ten years ago -- again here in the driveway but the object (an early cell phone) was never found.

So, it's a rule: NEVER set anything on the car. I'm not alone in this folly. You WILL very likely forget it's there.

But the mail thing the other day -- it actually did occur to me that it was a senior moment. And I didn't like that one bit.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2016, 05:13:17 AM »

Okay, enough from me. Let's settle into our rocking chairs and hear stories from you other old farts.

Does it count as a senior moment if you monetarily forget that you were told something in complete confidence, and are about to mention it to someone, and then suddenly have to stop talking to keep from revealing the confidence? Or does that happen at all ages?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2016, 05:23:20 AM »

Oy. I have done that, just stopped talking or clumsily segued into something completely lame.

Good morning, all.

I can't begin to remember all of the stuff I've forgotten.

I have Sandy B's recording of Blusette on my iTunes, so that's coming up in a minute.

I woke up at 3:45 and haven't been able to fall back asleep, which means thus far I've had under three hours of sleep.

And the new computer just keeps rolling along. Good news MR BK.

DR GEORGE I do not mind Windows 10.....but I had to reinstall Word and some of my little programs that I have downloaded were not compatible - so I had to find new ones. And I had to get a new printer/scanner/copier.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2016, 05:56:06 AM »

TOD:

I have to remember to hold my keys in the OTHER hand when I am putting letters in a mailbox or throwing garbage bags in the dumpster.....

I also have to make a shopping list or I will forget the very thing I went for.

DR TCB Welcome to SS!

I have heard from my doctor and her office will be calling about my coming in. Can't be soon enough.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2016, 06:21:54 AM »

Around 6:00 I was so sleepy I could barely mood. I turned off the lights and 9:00 and was still awake at midnight.

I did remember my last dream, which must be based on the end of the McGlinn estate office. The paralegal Geri brought some movers in to clean out part of the office where I worked. Jason Graae was in the dream, and we were working on some benefit. Geri did not stay to supervise and whewn I got to the office, everything was gone. When I woke, she was calling the movers for me.

Monday morning greetings! I haven't been out of the house since Friday and was kind of a slug all weekend. That HAS to stop today...
