Losing It




You have all heard of CRS (can't remember stuff). I suffer from this malady and it plagues me on a daily basis. I thought you might get a giggle out of this video if, you too, suffer from CRS.

I keep reminding myself of the story about the doctor who had a patient who was worried that he was getting Alzheimer's Disease. The physician told him, "If you forget where you left your car keys, that's normal. If you forget you have a car you are in trouble."

Based on that story I am not in deep doo doo yet; still I worry. I will be merrily typing away and I suddenly can't remember a noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, or the name of a famous person. I am, for the first time in my life, no longer sure about the spelling of a word. I tell you folks, that's scary. A mind is a terrible thing to lose.
