These days, it doesn’t take a lot to fool me. For instance, today I put a piece of paper in my rain jacket pocket to take to work, only to forget where I put it and spend the rest of the day looking for it. I’m just about to the point where I can plan my own surprise birthday party. I honestly thought senility would take longer.

But here I am, still kicking. I guess that counts for something. And every day is an adventure — although some days are more adventurous than I’d like them to be. But I think as long as I can laugh at myself, at least one person will be amused. And it helps keep me looking at the positives and the bright side of things. So, basically a win-win.
