If this is "old-timers'" disease then I've had it for a long while. My memory is shot, at least parts of it. It's like having all your info in a big file cabinet but one of the drawers won't open! Aaaarrrggghhh!! It feels like little pieces of a blackout - without alcohol. When I was younger, a young kid even, my parents told me I was "scatter-brained" and I think they were right. I've got enough brain cells to get me thru life reasonably well, but some of my neurons are not 'firing' as they should!
Oh well. At least I still know my own name and that I want to stay sober!
