The Daily News
1 Crazy times, I swear.
2 Congrats to the Choir for a fun time performing last night! Hope you guys had fun!
3 I completely forgot they were performing last night.
4 Getting old sucks.
5 First to go is your memory. Older means wiser, so they say.
6 You just LOOK wise because you’re, well, old.
7 The you forget things. I forget everything. My whole life these days is like 50 First Dates, only hourly.
8 Every time my cell phone rings, I have to try to read who it is with reading glasses, which makes me look like something right out of The Wind in the Willows.
9 For me, I had this dial tone set to Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, but I swear to you, I kept wandering around hearing that song even when it wasn’t even ringing. I”d hear ringing, and sometimes, even voices.
10 <With an Irish accent> Musta been the wee people. <Eyes twinkle.>.
11 So I finally decided to put my cell phone on “vibrate” so I wouldn’t wander around like a lost frog in a forest every time someone would call.
12 The only challenge of having it on “vibrate” is that every time my stomach growls, I answer my Altoids.
13 And when I read, it is reasonably fruitless, because I can’t remember what I read the day before.
14 The list goes on, but I can’t remember it.
15 I’ll open the cupboard only to find a gallon of milk.
16 I read the DN, and find after I’ve sent it off and posted it, that I spelled milk “mikl”.
17 I’ll suddenly go blank and look to Dictionary.com because the word just doesn’t look right.
18 And then I’ll look up the wrong word, but goof on going from definition to definition just so I could learn more words I’ll grow to forget.
19 And then I’ll just shut it all down, and smile wisely.
20 At least I could LOOK wise.
21 Enjoy this day.
22 Enjoy every day.
23 What was I just talking about?
24 Peace.

I think. Therefore. I think.
