Feeling like an Idiot

In addition to the approaching 70 I recently had chemo so now that is my excuse for everything, especially to the boss, "CHEMO BRAIN".

I saw an old gentleman talking to Johnny Carson years ago who said he was really enjoying being 80. He said: No matter how bad I screw up all I have to say is "I'm 80 you know" and they all just smile and nod...

Hell, I'm 41 and see an 83 year old down a ways outperform most younger people pretty often.

So lets not call it being feeling like an Idiot, just having a senior moment.

Man, you guys make me feel like a teenager!

I was talking to my older brother today, and he mentioned that he's had 13 surgeries since moving to Arizona, about 20 years ago. (He's 20 MONTHS older than me.) In my whole life, I've had 2. (Both before puberty.)

Yes, I've been prone to "senior" moments. A few of them in the last decade. Most of them, in my 20's!

Well I pushed 70 as hard as I could, then I told it to move over because I still had things to do. July this year I reached 70 and it didn't hurt one little bit. Looking forward to a lot more years ahead and doing a lot of wonderful things. Earlier this month I was in Reno, for Hot August Nights. After that event I drove down to Minden Nv. and signed up for a glider flight. We flew over Heavenly Valley Ski Resort, no snow of coarse, then also flew over Lake Tahoe. My first flight on a glider and it was a great experience. Will have to do it again when I get the chance.

I'm pushing 69 and have spent 20 minutes looking for the car keys which were in my left hand, so don't feel bad.

I spent a year and a half looking for my car keys that as I laid them down, I thought that if they slid off they would be difficult to retrieve, but remembered THAT instead of WHERE!:o

So when moving the 'where' 18 mo later I 'discovered' them.

More fun is yet to occur!!!!:rolleyes:

I've look all over the house and garage for my keys only to fine them in my hand.
