Ha-ha! Just the other day I momentarily lost it (more than usual, that is) and got frustrated that my computer screen failed to respond to me touching it (it’s not a touch screen device). Stealing from the words of the Seinfeld writers, going senile will be a very smooth transition for me.
I read a couple of years ago that a university somewhere offered a degree programme in The Beatles. I would definitely sign up for a B.S. (Bachelor of Seinfeldology), especially if it was by correspondence.
Gave me my health inducing laugh of the morning. Will pin it on my Emotional Fitness Aging Ain’t for Sissies Board. Also used your Recycling people cartoon for a post about thinking more logically yesterday.
Yes, it fits that board well. The decline in my cognitive and physical abilities is frustrating but contemporaries and I are laughing about the we are no longer 30 reality. And it ain’t gonna get any better although cataract removal and new lens last week has really put some spring back into my step.
